<p>Swine Flu is all the craze on Twitter (and just about everywhere else too). Just a couple of days ago, <a title="http://mashable.com/2009/04/27/swine-flu-twitter/" href="http://mashable.com/2009/04/27/swine-flu-twitter/">Mashable reported</a> that there were 10,000 mentions per hour of the dreaded virus! Twitter hysteria has really begun, but creativity and hilarity has also followed.</p>
<p>I would say the most popular retweeted silly item is the domain: <a title="Do I Have Pig Flu?" href="http://doihavepigflu.com/">www.doihavepigflu.com</a>. Go there now if you haven&#8217;t yet, it&#8217;s pretty funny.</p>
<p>According to <a title="http://retweetist.com/urls/1930911" href="http://retweetist.com/urls/1930911">Re:Tweetist</a>, the domain is the second most popular retweeted item on Twitter. Hats off to <a title="Jason DeFillippo" href="http://twitter.com/jpdefillippo">Jason DeFillippo</a> for creating such a hilarious page, and for <a title="http://doihaveswineflu.org/" href="http://doihaveswineflu.org/">inspiring others</a> to play along.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s really brilliant is something I don&#8217;t think anybody has noticed. I should mention that I am not slamming Jason here, I think it&#8217;s a smart idea. The link to the Amazon page is an affiliate link. This means that for those of you who actually buy a mask, Jason is getting a cut.</p>
<p><a href="http://tweetstats.com/trends"><img style="margin: 10px; float: left;" title="Swine Flu Mask" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31hQxjuW3JL._SL500_AA280_.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="190" /></a>Now I hardly imagine Jason is going to be able to retire with the cash he&#8217;s earning from Amazon. I hope he&#8217;s at least earning enough to pay for his hosting fees. If you think the site is hilarious, you may even choose to buy a mask to support him.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s just hope we don&#8217;t all need a mask soon, but if I do <a title="Support Jason DeFillippo" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QGGKQG?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=jpdefillippo-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B000QGGKQG">I know where I&#8217;ll be going to buy one.</a></p>
