If the literary James Bond were on Twitter

Part of the Twitter home page for @JB_UnivEX

Ever wonder what it would be like if the literary James Bond had been on Twitter? Well, @JB_UnivEx on Twitter has one interpretation.

The Twitter account debuted March 13, as Mr. Bond makes his first post.

1 Jun 52: Just setting up my Twitter. I will be tweeting about my life as an Import & Export merchant, splitting my time between travelling the world and living in my flat in Chelsea. #MyFirstTweet

Of course, Bond knows that Twitter is not a secured form of communication. That’s part of the fun of the @JB_UnivEX feed as Bond uses code names and euphemisms in his tweets.

2 Jun 52: Called upstairs to see the Managing Director, I am being sent to France on a business trip. Universal Export is looking at importing some radios.

2 Jun 52: Stack of reading matter, Head of Sales has put together an ambitious and (in my view) quite risky plan.

Bond’s image on the Twitter handle is Hoagy Carmichael, keeping with Ian Fleming’s description. The blog doesn’t want to give too much away. But the events in France have concluded and he’s on his way home, expressing himself in a Twitter sort of way.

21 Jul 52: Leaving Royale and heading back to London now. A month ago I was thinking of resigning from Universal Export, now I feel more focused than ever on my job. #ExportingIsGREAT

We’ll have to see how the literary Bond in the Twitterverse unfolds. The blog suspects this would qualify as fair use for being a parody (an obviously affectionate one).
