Here I sit in my ivory tower passing judgment on Twitterers that I deem worthy. And by ivory tower, I mean 2nd floor bedroom. Nevertheless, I want to give you the opportunity to give my tweet stream feedback. This is an open thread for just such a purpose. Am I funny? Interesting? Linkable? Lemme know [...]

It’s unclear how much feedback the average celebrity reads on Twitter. I imagine the reply feed of the stars needs a steady refresh to keep up with the “love you, man”s and the “you suck”s of the unwashed masses. I say it is unclear because I rarely see @ replies to respond with follower inquires [...]

A Twitter friend of mine @JennWebb recently inspired a Music Monday tradition last week. I asked my followers to sum up their day in 140 characters (or less) for me to score. No, I’m not grading your life, no judgment here. I’m the assigning a score–a theme, a soundtrack, a musical accompaniment–to your day. More [...]

There is a new celebrity on Twitter, and this one is actually funny. It is a refreshing departure from the comedians who get credit for on-screen talent but fail to translate said talent to text. 140 one-liners is a requisite to get into showbiz, but if you can’t perform in all media, people suspect that [...]

The Reputation Question

The idea of Twitter reputation has been evolving since the conception of the service. It started out in the simple form of follower counts–the more eyes on your tweets meant the more important and interesting you surely were. This was never completely true, but it was more true then than it is today. The follow/followback [...]

Today’s pick is an honest-to-God journalist from the Chicago Sun Times, Mr. Andy Ihnatko…and his name just broke my spell check. I first became acquainted to @Ihnatko on the popular podcast MacBreak Weekly hosted by Leo Laporte. IMHO, it is the only show on the TWiT Network in which Mr. Laporte isn’t the main draw, [...]

Most of my favorite tweets originate from a personality trapped to the world’s web–y’know, the wide one. Not so in the case of one Jim Gaffigan. I started following him after watching his comedy opus King Baby. It was funny, so are his tweets. I feel like I’m watching an infomercial for suicide. I’ve been [...]

Do you work in a cubicle? Do you endure meetings on a daily basis? Do you take your coffee with a spoonful of scorn? Then MeetingBoy is your follow. There’s no money for raises, but let’s do the annual reviews anyway. That’ll be good for morale. People love being judged. If the film Office Space [...]

I decided to tackle this review as a twosome to show the contrast in how Twitter can be used. The two subjects are Jay & Jack of Nudia.tv, most famous for their podcast about the show LOST. Their media efforts can be followed @jayandjack, but I’m focusing on their personal accounts: Jay’s lukevenk and Jack’s [...]
