Twittle Me This Batman


It took me a while to get on the Twitter band-wagon. Something about it just seemed weird and lame, why would I want to read when random people are going to the grocery store, or their inability to find a spot in the hospital parking lot. Plus, my cell phone is almost ten years old so I wasn't even sure it was equipped for tweeting.

As it turns out, you can be part of Twitter just by registering on the site. You don't have to use it from a mobile phone, but it would allow you more of an "instant access", which is the appeal of Twitter to begin with.

For me, the real draw comes from having an "unfiltered" look at some of my favorite celebrities, and having access to a plethora of hilarious one-liners. It seems tacky to follow the mundane observations of people just because they're famous, but that's why you need to filter them appropriately.

Comedians are great to follow because they're not only used to writing hilarious one-liners, but they're usually much more candid then other celebrities because no one takes them seriously to begin with.

It may seem incredibly lame, but Twitter is a great way to kill a couple minutes and read the random thoughts of people you find interesting. There is more than just following the observations of famous people, if you look hard enough there are tons of quality users putting out fantastic content that are just regular joes.

So many people are on Twitter these days, that you can customize your account to follow certain types of users. You can follow those who tweet hilarious things, those who tweet important news items, or even people who focus on motivational messages. Basically, Twitter is pretty sweet and if you're selective enough with your following list, constantly full of high quality observations or links.
