A slightly different vein for my ramblings today. The topic at hand is Twitter (and some ways, facebook, although Twitter is slightly more in line with the article at hand).
Some celebrities have embraced Twitter as a way to "advertise" their new products. Singers tweet about their latest compositions, actors about their new film or TV show. Many of these celebrities reply to the "normal people" (you and me), making us feel like valued "customers".
As great as it to have the news that Steve Martin is getting ready to do a one-man show, or Snoop Dogg is finishing the last bit of mixing on his new album, to me, the main joy of reading famous tweets is the mundane things.
What I really enjoy, more than knowing that Lady Gaga is about to start a new tour, is that Justin Bieber just burnt his toast. Or Katy Perry stubbed her toe.
Or that Barack Obhama has just farted.
It's the little things that makes Twitter more fun.
As a total aside, sometimes it can ruin the magic. I saw a photo the other day, of Richard Dean Anderson (best known for StarGate: SG1 and of course, MacGuyver) standing in front of his car, scratching his head. MacGuyver can't fix his own car?
It sort of ruins the magic of everything.
This one, however, really made me laugh.

Chloe from 24 - Jack Bauer's right hand woman; the woman responsible for opening more locked doors, cracking more security, hi-jacking more camera footage than anyone else... And she's can't work her DVD player...
Like I said, it's the simple things in life.
(Ps: Celebrities, tweet more about the boring things :-D )
(PPs: I don't follow Steve martin, Lady gaga, Snoop Dogg, Bieber, Katy Perry... The things I made up are fictional. Apart from the Chloe and MacGuyver one.)
