plus twitter is the hottness on a smartphone while dropping a duece, its like reading a magazine with nothing but titles and then you click the title and behold…the full article sometimes pictures too…

its also kinda cool to see the disparities in followers to celebrities, like Demi Moore will have a million or something and cb34 and cv31 are competing to get to 50k first. you mean to tell me he’s only got 50k for as known as he is, and twitter is international mind you so we’re not just talkin the u.s. of a.

“with great power comes great responsibility” lol

I like it, those who are against it, ignore it, if everyone had lives and did exciting things like these ballers do there would be no need for any entertainment period twitter is just a byproduct of the changing times, get used it. Its a way for use joe schmoes like me to get an insight of what these ‘celebrities’ do. I could give two sh!ts about what D-Howard eat for breakfast but when he lets the twitnation know he worked out at 7am it lets me know as a Fantasy GM he ain’t messin around. lol.

Once the media gets a hold of a new trend, it’s time to drop that trend. I wrote an article on it a while back; I think a lot of you will agree with me on this:

twitter is a way more powerful tool than just following some dumb celeb. It’s not different than the rest of the internet. simple solution, follow what you’re interested in and avoid the dumb stuff that you can’t stand. It’s annoying in a certain context (e.g. when CNN is all “follow us on twitter. blah blah” or you get some jackass celeb that talks about it like it’s the coolest thing ever). But, don’t deny that twitter is here to stay and it’s a powerful form of communcation (trust me, I’m eating my own words after I trashed it at lunch with a bunch of co-workers 7 months ago).

anyone catch David Thorpe’s live tweet of the Orlando and Vegas summer league? Amazing. And then you can follow all kinds of different outlets for news and breaking stories. Follow your favorite team, or blogger, or whoever.

I sat in on a big city’s Public Radio board meeting once and one of the biggest topics was trying to harness these new types of media to their advantage. And twitter repeatedly came up. It’s more powerful than a lot of people realize.

Think about the elections in Iran. Obama’s administration asked twitter to not shut down. Why? because it was the only way news from the citizens of Iran was getting out to the rest of the world. Yes, it’s that powerful.

And speaking of which, Dime mag needs to step up their twitter game.
