If you like icanhascheezburger.com then this link should be right up your alley. Cats who twitter. Oh man, this almost doesn't even require comment. Regardless, this opens up a whole new world for me- people who act as animals and twitter on their behalf.
The people behind stuff like I Can Haz Cheezburger and Cats Who Twitter is sort of who I envision really getting into twitter. Talk about not getting twitter- I really don't get people who take pictures of their cats/dogs in tiaras, funny outfits, weird situations, and then come up with a funny slogan for them in a strange new language, and post them on a website for the amusement of others. I will admit it, some of them are cute.
Take Mr Scrubby for Example,
"I learned that it takes mad skills to be a scrubilicious man-cat. You gotta have strong purrs, big jumps, and a loud flop on newspapers (or other piles of important work) when you want some rubbins. I also believe that being a man cat takes rhythm and good groove. I like to get down to Motown tunes, 70s punk, and 80s new wave. There's nothing better than watching birds out of the window while listening to Smokey Robinson, The Pretenders, or The Smiths. That's how I roll."
Mr Scrubby probably likes hip hop! Poor Mr Scrubby

10 Signs You are a TwitterHolic - Twitter Addict
10 signs you are a twitterholic/twitter addict and off the cuff comments about them in Italics (because they are written by a twitterer, which means normal people wont understand them really):
Brought to you by Todd R Jordan
1. All of your friends’ names start with @
I don't really get why twitter names start with @. @ is for email. However, if you really have actual friends who you know only on twitter, then you clearly needed twitter, and that makes me feel good for you.
2. You know what a tweet is and don’t snicker
I know what a tweet is and snicker loudly, then started a blog about people who don't. Which is lamer- you be the judge?
3. Your tweeted while your wife gave birth
and no one paid any attention!
4. Your tweeted while giving birth
I wouldnt want to touch that phone- handywipes STAT
5. Your kids have to tweet you to get you to make dinner
This makes me not want to have kids. I cant imagine having to buy a 6 year old a cel phone, let alone having to get online to talk to them.
6. Your mom joined Twitter to chat with you
my mom just learned to text. She might figure out twitter in 30 years or so
7. All you want for Christmas is unlimited SMS use on your cell phone
Ive seen peoples email boxes cluttered with twitter updates. you are really checking that often? how is Xmas in dorksville?
8. Your sign your work email, @wonky
Twitter should be banned at work, like myspace before it. At least on myspace there is pictures. And that is often why people don't get jobs.
9. You don’t read emails that aren’t highlighted replies to you
Since no one responds to you, you arent really checking email.
10. You name your newborn @babygirl1
How will they tell the difference at school between her and @babygirl2, @babygirl69, @babygirl2009

people in the netherlands love the anti twitter, I think
If anyone can tell me the gist of this article and what the text by the antitwitter link says, I would love it!
Kanye West is Anti Twitter- YAY
Best known for bringing back venetian blind sunglasses, Kanye speaks out via his blog about being anti twitter. This is by far the biggest anti twitter celebrity so far.
Kanye points out that he is far too busy “being creative” to use Twitter and his fake twitter account needs to be removed son!
West declared “Everything that Twitter offers, I need less of”. His enthusiastically-punctuated, paragraph-free blog post which I found here, read:
“DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER… WHY WOULD I USE TWITTER??? I ONLY BLOG 5 PERCENT OF WHAT I’M UP TO IN THE FIRST PLACE. I’M ACTUALLY SLOW DELIVERING CONTENT BECAUSE I’M TOO BUSY ACTUALLY BUSY BEING CREATIVE MOST OF THE TIME AND IF I’M NOT AND I’M JUST LAYING ON A BEACH I WOULDN’T TELL THE WORLD. EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF. THE PEOPLE AT TWITTER KNOW I DON’T HAVE A F****** TWITTER SO FOR THEM TO ALLOW SOMEONE TO POSE AS ME AND ACCUMULATE OVER A MILLION NAMES IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND DECEITFUL TO THERE FAITHFUL USERS. REPEAT… THE HEADS OF TWITTER KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A TWITTER AND THEY HAVE TO KNOW WHICH ACCOUNTS HAVE HIGH ACTIVITY ON THEM. IT’S A F****** FARCE AND IT MAKES ME QUESTION WHAT OTHER SO CALLED CELEBRITY TWITTERS ARE ACTUALLY REAL OR FAKE. HEY TWITTER, TAKE THE SO CALLED KANYE WEST TWITTER DOWN NOW …. WHY? … BECAUSE MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS LOUD!!!!!!!!!”
I don't really get the caps lock threat, but I suppose that I will use it in my everday life from now on- threatening to caps lock someone is fierce.
Kanye is about the only rapper I can listen to anymore, because he doesnt just talk about popping bottles with models or getting crunk up in some club. I can't even stay up past 11PM anymore or I call in sick for work. So relating to making it rain, etc is tough. However, I do roll on twens and when I do something stupid at some 30+ dive bar(before 11PM), I blame it on the A-A-A-A-Alcohol. I also like that he asked Zack Galifianakis to make this fake music video.

Ben Tao Truly Hates Twitter - I hate twitter article of the day
Just ran across this blog. Thought I should link to it now and comment later. (Image taken from Ben Tao's site)
From Bens Post:
If you google “I hate Twitter” you’ll find a bunch of results with “I hate Twitter” in the title. However, if you actually go and read any of these articles they are all liars! These people don’t really hate Twitter. Most say stuff like this…
“I hate Twitter because I’m so addicted to it!”
“I hate Twitter because I have no time to vlog anymore”
“I hate Twitter because it’s down all the time”
That’s lame. If you willingly use Twitter then you can’t really hate it because if you really hated it you wouldn’t use it in the first place. Here’s an example. I hate Broccoli (I feel like I’m eating trees and I hate the taste). However, you’ll never see me eating broccoli and hear me say “I hate Broccoli because it’s so addictive.” I stay the hell away from broccoli. If Broccoli enters a room, I would walk up to Broccoli and punch it in it’s green healthy face. That’s how much I hate Broccoli. That’s hatred.

anti twitter survey
The Young Turks, a show on MSNBC, or one of the young turks..... or an intern for the young turks has blogged that they are anti twitter, but do follow some tweeting. TYT or rebel headquarters (that is bold) as it is known by fans, has released a worthless survey on twitter. IT is worthless only because only 16 people have voted. So my negative vote is carrying some weight right now.
Here are the results at the moment:
I tweet out my grilled cheese sandwiches. 18%
I have an account to filter info as I said I just started to do. 12%
I refuse to jump on the bandwagon. 18%
I want twitter to die. 25%
It's fine, but I'm not interested. 25%
Click here for up to date results. I like that they choose to identify crazy twitterers as people who would tweet about eating a grilled cheese sandy.

anti twitter article of the day- twitter nobel peace prize
**Moderately pro twitter article alert**
It turns out that twitter has saved some lives, as it provided the only communication for Iranians in the middle of policital crisis, as their government blocked traditional methods of communication. Good for Twitter! I compare this to drinking your own urine when you are trapped in an earthquake. Your pee is helping you stay alive, but it is still pee. You don't have to keep drinking it. Acife Finneran may not agree with the pee analogy, but doesn't think twitter should get the nobel peace prize!
"And as for every other idiotic Twitter user out there with too much time on your hands; nobody cares that you missed your bus, that you like almond shower gel, or that you've just been dumped. Get a life."
For the record, I haven't always been so anti-Twitter, but all it took was one former US national security advisor to suggest that it deserves a Nobel Peace Prize and suddenly my hackles were rising.
The genius in question is one Mark Pfeifle, former aide to George Bush and a swooning admirer of the micro-blogging phenomenon. He reckons Twitter's ability to communicate the extent of the political crisis in Iran puts it right up there with Nelson Mandela and Aung San Suu Ky."
Side Note- Al Gore Created the internet!

Working at best buy.....Out!
Unfortunately, due to my massive hatred of twitter, I am out of the running for that phat job at bestbuy. I will not be able to sell you that $100 warranty where the salesperson "makes no commission". Man you guys, is this my first rodeo? The more you say that you don't get commission, the more I know you are lying. And a "bonus" or whatever word that the Double B is using these days, is still a commission, brah.
Ok maybe the salespeople don't have to have 250 Twitpals, but someone did. Check out the full story HERE.
"the company wanted a senior manager based in Minnesota with at least two years of mobile or social media marketing experience, a year's of active blogging experience, a Bachelor's degree, and... 250 Twitter followers."
I apologize that this is totally predictable.....Maybe they can learn about twitter from the nerdherd or geeksquad dudes (note- nerdherd is a well placed "Chuck" reference).

jonah hill not on twitter
IF there has ever been a movie which perfectly portrayed my life, it was Superbad. I was the fat one. My friend Chris was the skinny one. He doesnt support me by reading my blog....he tweets.
Back to how this is relevant to you if you are searching for fake twitter accounts, jonah hill, or whatever google query landed you on this ridiculous site, Jonah hill is not on twitter. He is the victim of a twitter imposter. Twitter imposters are a great reason not to care about celeb twitter accounts.
Important Side Note:
I do wish that I had nabbed bunch of celeb twitter names early on and started fake twitter accounts. By now I could have millions of followers and could sell them stuff online.
It would also be really fun to make up fake tweets about celebrities. Like, "I just left the viper room with shaq and gave the finger to billionaire oil heir brandon davis- It was tight"
