Agree with Joe - I happened to understand the allusion because I had read about "Remember the Alamo" some years ago, but we shouldn't assume "everyone" of our followers is familiar with the history of one particular country ;) We have a global community and readership.
To add more Monday morning quarterbacking (see what I did there? ;), the Taiwan tweet would have had enough characters left over to include an image - although perhaps we didn't have a suitably licensed one available.

I like these! I'd be a little wary though about assuming our audience is American (for example, I didn't know what the Alamo actually was until I read Ed's post ;) )
These look good though, since the target for this I imagine is indeed Americans.

For Ed's Texas Revolution blog post on Facebook (today): Everyone remembers the Alamo, but there's much more than that to the Texas Revolution, started this day in 1835. That's why one Wikipedia editor invested hundreds of hours on this article.
