Stephen Fry, sure. I love the man. The rest, bof.

I saw Stephen Fry a week ago on my way to work. He's very tall. I hadn't realised. I smiled at him, and he smiled back, slightly embarrassed. I could've kissed him.

It would've made his day. I imagine you're his type.

Oh and Bob Llewellyn - seriously good tweeter.

Well, maybe that's the thing. I get friends' update from my friends, and for distant friends I got FB. So Twitter would mostly be to follow the thoughts of "celebrities". And I think I'm just still too annoyed with the whole celebrity culture to get into it. I know that some are cool and their observations must be be witty/clever, but... something in the concept just doesn't agree with me.

Noir Desir is possibly the greatest French rock band ever (shush!), but they haven't done much since their lead singer for sent to a Lithanian jail for kinda killing his wife.

I bet every Twitter would start with "Look."

I had no idea what Twitter actually was until just a few weeks ago, except that I'd heard that Oprah and Ashton Kutcher did it. Then I started listening to some techie podcasts which explained it all to me. Still have no use for it; I don't have anyone to talk to anyways.

apparently twitter is also used by some really awesome Korean "roach coach" - the only way to locate it is via twitter.

Christopher Walken was worth following.

Twitter is awesome as a tool for sites like Alla, Wiki and what not to announce things to their users.

I have Twitter. I occassional act like a twit and tweet something random, but I mainly keep it for the contests my local morning show runs through it, tweets from the Ellen Degeneres Show, Pikko's tweets (which are large and magnificent Smiley: lol

), LOLCats, and the PhillyD show.

And I don't check it every day, although I did just add it to my iGoogle page, so I get to see it more often.
