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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Posted 07.15.2009 in Review, slider

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 [...]

Posted 07.15.2009 in Review, slider

I know what you’re thinking. 28PancakesLater is just the viral marketing Twitter account for the upcoming zombie flick that takes place entirely in an IHOP. Hmm? You weren’t thinking that? Wow, that was random…but not as random as 28PancakesLater. I type of the Twitter handle of one Erasmus Downey. This may be his real name, [...]

One of the early follows responsible for my continuous use of Twitter was hotdogsladies. The man behind the handle is the productivity wizard Merlin Mann, best know for his 43Folders blog which is best know for Inbox Zero which is best known for managing your email. What made me come back to Twitter in the [...]

With an economic recession, a growing pandemic and possible thermonuclear war making headlines, it’s no wonder that people turn to the Daily Show for the lighter side of the coming Apocalypse. I ask, is there a Twitter equivalent? I answer, yes. Does this toga make me look frat? Bluelanugo could very well be a Daily [...]

Actor/Comedian Kevin Nealon is new to Twitter with a first post dating to March 15th on 2009. You my as Doug Wilson from the HBO series Weeds, Saturday Night Live’s “Subliminal Man” or from the film Roxanne as Drunk #2. Nealon jumped right into Twitter without floundering much. His tweets started off giving his fans [...]
