Nineteen definitive @KasimReed tweets

• Twitter!
• An Atlanta mayor, a verified mayor

As I pointed out in my column about the rise of @KasimReed, Mayor Kasim Reed’s personal Twitter account, his constant updates are something to behold. What was once a barren Twitter account has since turned into an entertaining (and verified!) 140-character stream.

Over the past year, the mayor has became an active Tweeter as he’s championed his political duties and lashed out at critics. He’s also shared personal tidbits about himself that include his sports fandom and his affinity for Thumbs Up Diner.

For those unfamiliar with Reed’s tweets, here are 20 of the mayor’s 140-character messages that offer a look into his online persona.
