People say that there is someone in this world for everyone. Well the same is true of social media sites.

2. Ravelry

4, FunTweets

Twitter moves at the speed of light and it is easy to miss some pure comic gold. Welcome FunTweets – capturing all the hilarity of Twitter in one easy to view locations.
