The historical “Midnight Ride†would have been known as the “Midnight Postâ€. Instead of “ridin’ across the land, kickin’ up sandâ€, he could have simply posted a MySpace bulletin to his 16,000 “friendsâ€.
But now that I think of it, that probably wouldn’t have been that effective since you can only view five bulletins at time.
With 16,000 colonists online, the extremely vital warning bulletin “The British are coming!†would be pushed off the screen instantly by a 1,000 trivial, sophomoric posts from idiots with too much time on their hands.
