Steve Jobs made of Tweets! How tweet is that?

So somebody on Twitter, from Twitter, went ahead and made a huge wallpaper of all the Tweets tagged with the hashtags #ThankYouSteve. These tweets are in descending ordered of how many retweets they got (Arnold Schwarzenegger tops the list!), and are superimposed by a huge picture of Steve Jobs. Kind of a fitting tribute from the Twitterati to, and I quote, the last man in America who knew what the fuck he was doing! Enjoy!

Steve Jobs is dead... Long live Steve Jobs!

Today the world mourns the loss of one of the most remarkable personalities of our age: Steve Jobs. Steve passed away earlier today while suffering from Pancreatic Cancer. He was 56 years old.

Steve Jobs, a name synonymous with vision, innovation, leadership, and inspiration, was in my opinion, the most important person of our time & age. The Innovator of innovators, the Visionary of visionaries, the Entrepreneur of the Century, the DaVinci of our time, the Architect of the Future… and now, a Legend beyond life!

Ever since he laid foundation of Apple back on a Fool’s Dayin 1976, its been one revolution after the next. First mainstream computer with a GUI, first computer with a mouse interface, first animated feature film, the biggestbrand in MP3 players & Portable Media devices, the biggest Online Music store, the biggest & most important name in smartphones, the architect of the smartphone era, the undisputed king of Tablet-land… These are only a few of his accomplishments over the years, and one can clearly see that how profound and deep effect has he had on our lifestyle and how we perceive & consume technology & information.

And through all these numbers & figures, all the credits & iDidIt’s, one can begin to comprehend the unfathomable awesomeness of “the Steve”. Over the years, I have continuously been impressed, inspired, and overwhelmed by the sheer genius, vision, leadership, and ingenuity of this one man who has gone and made the company he himself founded, into the most valuable company in the world! There aren’t many who can make such a claim. Watching him onstage, one couldn’t help but be infected by that radiant energy & exuberance of his when he’s presenting a new product, or talking about something that “just works”. One can clearly see that he truly was in love with his products. And that’s what leadership is all about. He was involved in the development of the product right from the conceptualization phase, hand-crafted the strategy, personally oversaw the production, and then went on stage and gave it to the world! It was his vision & dream that has been driving the Apple engine, and has put the company on an unparalleled innovation run that is still changing the world as we read these words.

So to conclude this post, I just want to say that I have been overcome with such an overwhelming feeling of loss, grief and sadness, that words simply fail me. Despite barely owning an Apple product or two in my life, I still feel the loss and that emptiness in my life, that we would not see Steve Jobs up on stage ever again, telling us about what he’s been innovating this spring. I, personally, will miss him for years to come, and I feel blessed to have been born in the same time & age as Steve. And as he passes on to the next life to hang out with Einstein, Newton, Da Vinci, Paganini, and the Curies, his persona, his work, and his afterglow will always be a beacon of inspiration & direction for generations to come. Steve Jobs is dead… Long live Steve Jobs!
