So Many Tweets, So Little IPv4
Since we announced that ARIN has zero IPv4 addresses remaining in inventory, we’ve heard a lot of social chatter around this historic event for the Internet. In fact, there have been thousands of tweets over the past few days - everything from the humorous to the serious. We couldn’t possibly share them all, but here are a few that made us crack a smile:

@TeamARIN "0 IPv4 address available" in North America. Moore's law has hit the Metcalfe's law limit. @Things_Internet + #IPv6 is now!

Getting new IPv4 space now feels like some medical situations. If you find your own donor, a transfer can be arranged.

North America is COMPLETELY OUT of new IPv4 addresses http://t.co/UB225mTvDd

The Internet registry says it has run out of IPv4 numbers, so if you have any lying around — check the garage: http://t.co/R1XLLJV845

@that1guy_15 @TeamARIN haha, think you should focus on IPv6 or you will go hungry for a long time 🙂

#get6 before #6gotYou! As more Orgs and Incs move to support IPv6 you could end up not seeing all of your #flow https://t.co/E2bHAI1C5P
