HistoryInPics is probably my favorite non-basketball related Twitter follow. Great stuff.
For a while it was the only non-basketball follow on my basketball twitter account out of 200+. I've since added @FascinatingVids. No historical hotness over there though, unfortunately.

I can't help but wonder where those pictures come from and who posts them.
Snapshots of History
Wildly popular accounts like @HistoryInPics are bad for history, bad for Twitter, and bad for you.

Lack of attribution for the artists who took the photos these accounts use is only the beginning of the problem. By failing to provide context, offering a repetitive and restricted view of what “history” is, and never linking to the many real historical resources available on the Web, these accounts strip history of the truly fun parts: curiosity, detective work, and discovery.

^ Meh, that's what Google is for. While attribution would be nice, if I'm interested in something I don't need the Twitter account to spoon-feed it to me.
Thanks to that pic, I now know that a member of the Beach Boys one day picking up some hitchhiking cultists inadvertently lead to the famous murders and the symbolic 'end of the 60's'. Also that Kevin Love's dad once broke his hands beating up that same Beach Boy, before throwing him through a window and bashing his head with a phone and bed frame.

Joyce was on Battle Of The Network Stars once and Howard Cosell said she was the sexual heat of the show or some sh. He let his inner voice out with her next to him, she was visibly creeped. She was only the 3rd hottest chic behind Wonder Woman and Daisy Duke, but that's select company. No shame running behind those two. I think it was Lynda Carter who poured champagne over Howard's rug and he got intensely pissed. She goes, "Sor-reey?!..." _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!
