Maplewood resident becomes Twitter hit

Maplewood resident James Jewell at one time was underemployed working 30 hours a week part time at a law firm and thought it would be cool to have a popular twitter account. It worked out fine.

Jewell started Tweeting pieces of copy from the New York Times on Twitter, using the handle @NYTMinusContext. He currently has 136,000 followers.

He said there was an account called @pitchforkme that did a similar thing with Pitchfork reviews and he decided to try it with the NYT.
