This Twitter thing has completely taken over my life. I find myself checking it at least five times daily, and I update pretty much every time. Now, I tend to be verbose, and I have a little difficulty with the 140 character limit. But, I follow all of these famous people, like some of my favorite artists, television programs, and writers. I also follow my favorite President, Barrack Obama. Now, to give my ego a false boost, President Obama follow me, too! Of course, I follow Starbucks AND Dunkin Donuts (hope they don't find out ;)). To my thrill, they both follow me, too. Now, I'm hoping that Trent Reznor will come around. . .
Now, there is this whole Twitter-etiquette thing. If someone follows me, then, I feel obligated to follow them. Many of these folks have some quirky Twitters. Some people have these inspirational messages they send to their followers. Anderson Cooper just gives a link to his show's website. Many people have Twitpics, which is kind of fun. However, it's surprising how many Twitterers just share their usual daily routine, like, "I just took a huge crap, and it was awesome". I use Tweetie, for the iPhone, which is pretty cool. I can update and photograph crazy stuff I see in the world. It was $2.99 well-spent. Yesterday, I was reading Rolling Stone online while I was shoving my lunch in my face, and I saw a few stories about Trent Reznor's Twitter review of the new Chris Cornell album, and Chris Cornell's possible retort, which probably wasn't a retort at all. Since I follow them both, I was on the front line of this breaking story. Pretty cool. . .
