Suddenly, All the World's A-Twitter....

=============================

Like the Days when IBM joined the PC market and "legitimized it". I guess it was a bastard before...

Oprah, Larry King and yes, even Ashton Kutcher has "Legitimized Twitter".

Hell, it's been around since 2006. but the MEDIA, Always late to the Party

has "Found" a "New" Darling...

I'm a Twitterer @ http://twitter.com/bigbopper.

When I signed on a username was "safer" than a Real Name, so I picked bigbopper.

Through the ensuing years, Twitter kept gathering Steam, especially at the Yearly SXSW (South by Southwest) confab in Texas.

A few months back, Pundits were afraid that Celebrities like Britney Spears would dilute the quest to gather followers.

For some reason that did not happen.

But lately the gutting of the pipelines by CNN anchors has clouded the waters of this handy microblogging tool.

Then came Kutcher-King Challenge and "CNN the Amoeba" that consumes "latest" Tech Tools jumped in.

A few days later, Oprah, "the Queen of All MEDIA" stumbled in, and Shaq politely Twitted to her she was posting in ALL CAPS, a no-no.

What this onslaught of Media and Star Power will have on Twitter is still in Question.

But it more than likely can't be good.

Example: It took Leo Laporte, a popular Tech Podcaster almost 2 Years to gather x number of followers.

It took Oprah 2 days to Double that...

The "Not-So_Great" Twitter Challenge 2009

=====================================

Poor Leo,

He's gotta talk About

Twitter THIS Week!

=====================================

TWiT, like iPhone, has a small i, and Stands for This Week in TECH. A nice catchy and fitting name for a very popular MP3 Podcast about the current goings-on in Technology.

One of Leo Laporte's biggest hangnails is the Microblogger Wunderkind called Twitter.

That sounds too similar to TWiT:
his Show.

Up until recently, Twitter was Best Known for being the Most Popular "Cloud" program that has yet to make "money".

Tough Problem in these Tough Times.

Well this Week, Twitter Became the Most Talked about "Thingy"

by Two unbelievable "Celebrity Stunts", yes Stunts.
=========================================================

First and foremost was the

Ashton Kutcher-Larry King
Media-hyped Challenge.

===================================================================

That's 446 "Freakin" characters of STUPID!

Run through the Twitter inspired TinyURL and it becomes:

http://tinyurl.com/dmocpd

and that's just 25.

===================================================================

The 445 characters would be 3.18 tweets because "Tweets"

(twitter messages are limited to 140 characters each.)

===================================================================

The Kutcher Challenge was a Face Off of Popularity between Kutcher and Larry King to see "Who" could reach 1,000,000 "followers" First.

A Day or so later, Ashton had won the Challenge and was the Larry King Show to accept his "Prize" a Pair of Larry Kings trademark suspenders.

Check the Video Bar Top Right...

===================================================================

Not to be out done by this Self Promoting Stunt,

the Queen of Media,
Oprah
manufactures here own

"Media Circus" ,

by becoming a Live "Twitterer" on her

Oprah Show.

It's pretty sad when "Puff-Cakes" become supporters of
"New Technology" that's been around for OVER TWO YEARS.

Yep, Leo's going to have to

Talk about THIS ONE.

Wingman, shaking his Head....tsk..tsk...tsk
==============================================================
Also sadly, Oprah's First Tweet was corrected (pawned) by Shaq,

a Media-Savy Basketball star...

Obviously, to be continued, unless we run out of

Celebs that Need "the Spotlight"
