Twitteronia...tweet tweet



Now, like many of you out there that have even heard of twitter, I too had many negative perceptions with the social networking site.  Thought it was just another cop off other websites, nothing more than a poor man's facebook that only gave you status updates (All the Jet really looks for anyways "What's your status?")  But to my shagrin, Twitter has gone above and beyond all my expectations.  

The coolest thing by far is the simple fact, that famous people are actually the famous people themselves, and not some 16 year computer freak getting off pretending he's Lebron James or Britney Spears.  The Diesel himself found out he had an impostor and thus took on Twitteronia by storm!  

Still having misconceptions about the website.  Put it this way... can you think of an easier/creepier way to see your favorite celeb or athlete in public.  The hairy Shaqsquatch found himself twittering while having a meal at a local diner.  Two random fans in the area went to the diner just to prove their notion that Shaq wasn't really the man behind the madness (*see here*).  They walked out with a free meal, some pics with Shaq, and a story of a lifetime.
Who said the Internet isn't taking over the world?!?
