Ellen Talks Twitter./ Year of The Twitter

Even Ellen is now Twittering. I am a big fan of the Ellen show and recently Ellen started her own twitter. What a perfect fit for the class! It is also interesting to know that a lot of celebrities, including Barack Obama are involved with this social network. Twitter is constantly getting bigger.

Year of the Twitter

"Ever since Barack Obama, Shaq, P. Diddy joinged twittering, it was sure sign the social-networking site had breached the zeitgeist".

By Nick Lewis, Calgary Herald April 6, 2009

"If, as Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan once enthused, the medium is the message, then the message of the growing "twittering" phenomenon could be we don't have much to say to one another, but would like to say it often. Twitter.com, the online social networking site that has nearly seven million people microblogging about their lives, allows users to send each other quirky text messages, or "tweets," under 140 characters — about the length of a Facebook status update".
