Twilebrity

Do you twitter? You might be a twilebrity and you don't even know!!! As Vanessa Grigoriadis puts it "twilebrities are people - tweeple, in twitspeak - who spend their days typing 140 character messages into a digital rumpus room of about 55 million monthly users. For tweeple, e-mail messages are soonets, Facebook is just too slow while twitter doesn't even require real sentences, only a continual patter of excessively declarative and abbreviated palaver. Twittering all the time, the act of text-messaging the world, is the essential feat of a twilebrity." But be carefull, do not twitter TOO much or you might end up in Twitter Jail, as "Twitter has started to put the brakes on the culture of twilebrity by suspending the accounts of those who twitter TOO excessively (more than 1,000 tweets per day)". So, are you ready to become a twilebrity twittering about UGP???
