The name is Bond, James Bond but on twitter he’d be known as @jamesbond. This week we asked you what would Mr. Bond tweet about. This is what you had to say.

Let’s start off with a really sophisticated answer by @nealwiser: “Bet you in next movie Bond will use Twitter to get the girl & defeat the bad guy by tweeting fake nuclear launch codes.” @mottipeer jokes: “007 License to tweet”, @michaelbiddulph writes: “Just a drink, a Martini, shaken not stirred.” I like that. Another Martini reference comes from David Alexander on Facebook: “The bartender in the twelve cesars can’t make a descent martini.”

A few of you realists thought that he wouldn’t tweet at all. Andrew J Scott: “He wouldn’t. FFS is nothing sacred? ”.  @kfirpravda thinks that “he won’t twit. he will be too busy killing the bad guys”. @philipbuxton the master realist points out: “nothing – he’s a SECRET agent…!”

We got a few references to Moneypenny as well. A few professional. A few romantic.

@tomgriffola writes:  ”Moneypenny’s mad at me again, I can’t find any of my receipts and she’s refusing to sort my expenses.”  Gerry Cooney says: “Moneypenny, you know there is no other woman for me ”

I’ll end with a really great one by Bertrand Leseigneur: “M. why you didn’t create Twitter before the americans??”  Now isn’t that a classic James Bond tweet?

Monday as usual we will announce next week’s character. Thanks to everyone who participated this week.

master Yoda

This week we asked you “What would Yoda tweet”?  Just like in previous weeks, we found our contest hero already has an active twitter account: @yoda, Quite an entertaining one actually. In his last tweet he dissed the twitter community saying: “RT you all do. Original force there is little of”.

So let’s see what you guys thought Yoda would say.  @ilan_peer wrote: “i feel the tweet is strong with this one”  @HeziAbrass said: “Powerful you have become, many followers I sense in you.” Perhaps he was referring to my tweet about finally hitting the 5000 followers mark on twitter.  @Mottipeer responded to him: “”Number of followers matters not, … Look at me. Judge me by followers, do you?”

@EyeView_Inc expresses a frustration that we often face in twitterland. Due to twitter’s 140 characters limit, users often find all kinds of tricks to get all the words in. EyeView writes: “What would Yoda tweet? Half the tweets I read sound like written by Yoda they were!”

@jrmk wondered if I am a Starwars-freak enough to understand the following Yoda tweet from him: “ afk #Dagobah”. Yes Jeremie. I got it. Funny For anyone who didn’t get the joke,  here’s some info for you about Dagobah.

@Guybendov notifies me that I dont need to run an @darthvader campaign because he’s already on twitter (not that this fact ever stopped us before).

On Facebook, Ephraim Rattner writes: “Powerful you have become, the Tweet side I sense in you.” And last but not least,  Raanan Avidor starred this week with a record 7 straight (and may I say, very creative and intelligent) answers. Here are some of them:

1) “ You must feel the Twitter around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes”

2) “That is why you fail – RT @Luke: I can’t believe it”

3) “Remember, a #Jedi’s strength flows from the #Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they”

4) “May the Twitter be with you”

5) “May the #Force be with you”

You rock Raanan! Great job! You always star in our contests. Glad you like the subjects.

My personal favorite was @LiviuLica’s tweet: block spammers you must, spam is for the dark side, yes, blocked i have the jerk @darthvader

Monday we announce the next character. This time I already know who I am picking. Stay tuned…

Most people thought that Lennon would turn his songs into tweets. @welfeld wrote “Imagine all the twitters, twitting in your face. Your tweets are of a dreamer, but you are not the only one.” @niron had a different take on Imagine, writing instead, “You may say I’m on twitter, but I’m not the only one, Oprah and Ashton have been there long B4 I’ve tried” @reggriffin tweeted “Imagine there’s no facebook…it’s easy if you try.” On Facebook, Jim Woods responded, “Imagine all the Tweeple living life in peace.” Ilan Peer wrote “all i am tweeting, is give peace a chance” Michael Mullins wrote “Imagine There’s no Heaven.” Alex de Carvalho wrote “Imagine There’s No Facebook”. Neil Osman wrote “Imagine there is no middle eastern August.”

When asking what Lennon would tweet, Guillaume Decugis “I can’t IMAGINE ”

Blue Nim Rod referred to another Beatles song (although this one was actually written by Paul McCartney), “Let it be!”

Ben Pashkoff says Lennon would tweet, “We are all together – kuku kashoo”

@amitkurtz thought that Lennon would tweet “…there’s no heaven” @Mottipeer wrote “All you need is love” @niron had a similar take, tweeting that “John Lennon might have said: “Imagine all the people tweeting out for PEACE, yoohoo uhoohoo”.”

Raanan Avidor wrote that “Lennon has a lot of quotes that can be twitted like:

♫ All you twit is love. ♫

♫ All we are saying is give twit a chance. ♫

♫ There’s nothing you can twit that wasn’t twot. ♫

♫ Yeah we all twit on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun. ♫”

Gil Ruda “For those of you in the cheap seats I’d like ya to clap your hands to this one; the rest of you can just rattle your Blackberry”

Other twitterers referenced Lennon’s untimely assassination. Frequent participant LiviuLica wrote that ‘he might of twitted – “there’s that loony that’s been stalking me, it’s time for us to have a chat”’ One user grimly mentioned both Michael Jackson’s death and Lennon’s. @welfeld, referring to Jackson’s ownership of the Beatle’s library, tweeted “Maybe now that Michael Jackson is dead, I can get my music’s rights back. Wait, I am dead too.”

@sageeb has another entry with this philosophical statement: “@god is a concept by which we measure our pain” ~@johnlennon

@Rubin is clearly not a fan of Twitter – or at least he thinks Lennon wouldn’t have been, tweeting “John Lennon would probably dismiss Twitter as useless.”

My own entry is “Twitter fields forever.”

As with Marilyn Monroe and Ari Gold, it appears that Jesus really does tweet.”

Here are some of the best responses we received:

By far my favorite response came from Raanan Avidor on Facebook. He says that Jesus would tweet “BRB”

Mottipeer writes:  ’Jesus tweet at Microsoft “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul”‘

Referring to another miracle, tomforemski writes “Jesus would Tweet: I just got pulled out of sea of Galilee – I forgot I had holes in my feet”

Another amusing (but perhaps a bit sacriligeous):  dotmad @blonde20 “My back is killing me”

Many of you wrote sacriligeous comments, such as:  ’Whatever he tweeted, it would only get retweeted for about 3 hours.’ (from ohnperrybarlow). Another interesting post came from Thailand. LukeInTH wrote “still stuck on the cross waiting of die.. boring.. thank god the romans have good wifi.”

Osherlana tweeted in the name of Jesus: “oh my dad”

Christopher Knuffke says that he’s “Not sure. . .guess he would have to answer that for himself!

Clearly Jim Woods knows Twitter. That’s probably why he’s on Facebook:

No, I don’t need to learn how to make money at home.

I already knew what you had for lunch.

And, MUST HEAL FAIL WHALE.

Would Jesus use twitter to spread his gospel? LiviuLica said that he would tweet: “Latest blog post – ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you’, please RT”

Jesus was in Israel, but despite what some think, we don’t ride on camels or speak Yiddish. Nor did Jesus (he spoke Aramaic), but Victor Weigner said that “He would say” VAT IS DIS” YOU ARE ALL MESHUGANA” (he spoke Yidish)…” (Funny, that Yiddish sounds a lot like English to me).

Raanan Avidor who also said that Jesus would tweet “BRB” clearly thinks Jesus would have liked Twitter. As he wrote

“Blessed are the twit, for they shall inherit the earth…” (Matt. 5:5) (Unless Facebook will do something about it)

Rafael Cosentino wrote that Jesus would have tweeted, “Thou shall not covet thy neighbor’s followers.”

When told that the contest ended tomorrow, raincoaster tweeted “Tomorrow is the last day? You’d think Jesus would give us a little more warning.”

If anyone had any doubts, Jesus would have participated in #followfriday. From 7son75: ‘He would have tweeted: “#FollowFriday @Judas. Great, loyal disciple. Always has your back. Not one of those sell-outs. BFF’s!”‘

Asher Idan thinks Jesus would have loved twitter. He wrote:

Jesus love revolutions. Social-Conversational Media is the biggest revolution since the printing press 550 years ago. the same is true abou Socrates and Writing revolution. Socrates and Jesus were murdered

For the last word, I leave you with sageeb‘s question: “are the last words of Jesus, before Twitter crashed, known as “The Last Tweet”?”

Who should we pick next week?

“Lloyd!”

Apparently people are afraid of Ari Gold. Or didn’t want a hug from the fictional Entourage character.  That must explain why the Twitterati were a bit afraid of tweeting for him in this week’s #wwtt contest. Or perhaps they just didn’t want to be too vulgar on Twitter. On Facebook, there was a bit more participation.

However, like Marilyn Monroe, the fictional Ari Gold apparently DOES tweet on a very rare occasion at @TheAriGold.

New Blonde 2.0 team member and twitterer @ahoova said “Ari: Keep your eyes on Andrew Kline’s tweet stream. Lloyd: Keep my eyes on him how Ari: Pretend he’s Zac Efron’s Ballsack. #wwtt”

Ahoova got another entry in with “i <3 Ari Gold- biggest a-hole on the planet. Ari “Don’t tweet any questions Lloyd, not until you stop dressing like Paula Poundstone” #wwtt“

In last minute entries (like Ari himself), both @MatchesMalone and @alanweinkrantz think that he would tweet “Lloyd!” This seems to be a common response.

@MatchesMalone also thinks that perhaps they will now incorporate Twitter into the next Entourage. We shall see, we shall see. “I think it would be more important to see who he allows to follow him…,” he said.

Of course, perhaps the reason that more people didn’t tweet publically was echoed by Ezra Butler. @ezrabutler DMed me that “i try to not to tweet too many curse words together at once. ”

On Facebook, Shimmy Mehda said that Ari Gold would tweet “Lloyd!” Shakil Khan said that he would tweet, “Bring The Sunblock, We Are Going to HELL”

Jeff Katz said that Ari Gold would tweet “something bad about Lloyd.” Rafi Elbo has the right idea. He wrote that “He would twitt this: ” LTFA – this is the story of my life: Living Together – Fucking Around”"

Clearly, you were not up to the challenge this week. Or maybe you were just too scared that Ari would come after you. Show me that you can do better. Post in the comments and on Twitter #wwtt what you should have posted this week!

Who do you think I should pick next week? Let me know in the comments. Who knows, maybe I’ll pick your choice!

Nevertheless,  a question: “Do you want a hug, bitch?”

Of course, Marilyn may be the original Blonde 1.0 but she wasn’t always blonde as @MeganWilloughby points out in her tweet “Just finished filming Monkey Business. I wonder what people will think when they see me as a platinum blonde?”

Some results were pretty ordinary. @LiviuLica had this to say “I guess it would be – “It sure was windy today”"

Other tweets really showed some Marilyn Monroe knowledge like this one from “@katchja: I wanna twit with you, just you and nobody else but you…” Another interesting one was from @sageeb “What do I take to bed? Why, Twitter, of course. ~ @MrsMiller“

Some contestants referred to Twitter itself.

Start up @6rounds referred to author and confidant in writing “Henry miller writes my tweets.” Osherlana doesn’t think diamonds are a girls best friend but rather something else when tweeting “Tweeters are a girl’s best friend.”  Marilyn impersonator @suziekennedy gets in an unofficial entry with a missing hashtag and asks  “are diamonds really a girls best friend ? ” Personally, I think a girl can have both her diamonds and twitter. Another unofficial entry: “@dotmad “how about “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”?”

@ahoova expresses her views on men and Twitter when she tweets “Twitter is fickle and I know it. It has its compensations, but it also has its drawbacks and I’ve experienced them both.” With the same man-Twitter theme @Vearor tweets “‘Now what man will go best with this outfit?’”

What do you think of the tweets? Could you have done it better? If so, leave your comments and post on Twitter with the hashtag #wwtt. And, remember, this contest will be a weekly occasion, so what famous – real or fictional – character should tweet next week?

Twitter is a relatively new tool that is changing the face of communication. The world would look very different if Twitter had existed back in the stone age. Could you imagine the Bible being tweeted? How would that look? A lot shorter, for sure! What would fictional characters  and classic celebrities tweet if they had Twitter in their day? If Darth Vader had Twitter, do you think he would have said “@luke I am your father”? Would Marilyn Monroe have wished “@jfk happy birthday” on TweetDeck? Would she announce her engagement to Joe DiMaggio to her tweeps first just as @IvankaTrump announced her recent engagement on Twitter?

Blonde 2.0 is excited to launch a new weekly contest “What would they tweet?” Every Monday, we are going to pick a character – real or fictional – from historical times to today and ask you to come up with the most interesting and creative tweets. They will be posted on this blog each Thursday. Blonde 2.0 will then handpick the best tweets and highlight them here.

For the first week, let’s start with this classic blonde beauty and the original Blonde 1.0. If Marilyn Monroe had Twitter, what would she tweet?

To participate in the contest, post your entries on Twitter with the hashtag #wwtt.

Go ahead, go wild! Show us what you’ve got!
