Twitter may be a 21st century invention, but that’s not going to stop John Quincy Adams, the nation’s 6th president, from joining in on the fun. Thanks to the Massachusetts Historical Society, that is. Seems that like many historical figures, Mr. Adams kept a series of one-line, Twitter-friendly diary entries during his lifetime. I’m following him, now, and you can follow him, too. Just swing on over to http://twitter.com/JQAdams_MHS and start following his updates. While you’re at it, you might also consider following Abraham Lincoln as he tweets during the Battle of Gettysburg.
