Twitter & Pakistan’s Quick Fact Book

Yesterday and the day before, Pakistan tweeple (twitterers at twitter) had been pushing #Pakistan to the top. Purpose was sort to push #Pakistan to the first place in trending topics among the millions of twitter users online and active. It was also a part of Go-Green campaign. Most of the tweeple (twitter people) kept posting #Pakistan in their tweets fast & steady in just anyway we could e.g. he loves #Pakistan, she loves #Pakistan too and we all love #Pakistan and also by quoting national songs, some excerpts and what not!

This young lady, a decent chap, @hinstance (Hina Aman) played much better a role by not being just another face in the crowd! Her enthusiasm was worth noticing and I didn’t have to do much to notice and praise as her tweets caught me all into it. I was quite impressed the way she dug, she wrote and she shared all those one-liner facts about my beloved motherland with the world out there! To confess, I only learned quite some facts which I had never known ever before her tweets and that’s one of the reasons I’d like to share it with you too.

Below is the compilation of her #Pakistan tweets.

[ Thanks Hina for having it compiled and for letting me have a copy, too ]

Cheers…
