We’re honored to report that TIME Magazine (well, their blog) reviewed Historical Tweets today, and wrote some nice things:

“History is a funny thing. Take the Pilgrims, for example. Not only do they look ridiculous — (hat buckles? really?) — but you can make fun of them without fear of accidentally offending someone. This is the brilliance of the website HistoricalTweets.com.”

Not only did writer Claire Suddath like our site, but she and the TIME team wrote some of their own.  It seemed like a good opportunity to come back with more historical updates.  We’ll be sprinkling their creations in with our own.  Hope you enjoy them.

Here’s the first, from Declaration of Independence overachiever John Hancock:
