Amidst a group of bloggers writing live from NPR’s headquarters, up above the streets of Washington, D.C., I was glued to Twitter.

There’s no doubt that social media exerted a profound impact over this election.

Here are 5 of the best election night tweets, funny and deep:

1. “Girl in front of us will obviously sleep with someone tonight, but that guy should know the orgasm is Obama’s.”-joeschmitt, written from Grant Park rally in Chicago.

2. “President Obama. President Obama. Love the sound of it!!!!” -dianakuan, written from a bar in Beijing

3. “kids born from this day forward will never know a world when a black man hadn’t been President. That’s awesome.” JDArtist

4. “”The first election the internet won”- blogislam, blogging live from NPR HQ in DC

5. “Today is a great day for the global family. I am SO delighted about the presidential election results! Fantastic!”- BongoBloggs
