John Hawkins put out a list of the must follow conservatives on Twitter, and it is a very good list. It includes me (of course) and also SarahK.
I know some of you are resistant to Twitter, but you’re starting to sound like old fogies who still demand to get their news through the newspaper. Twitter is where all the important stuff breaks these days. And it’s the number one place to be if you’re a Justin Bieber fan.
“I know some of you are resistant to Twitter, but you’re starting to sound like old fogies who still demand to get their news through the newspaper. ”
HA! I’ll have you know this old foggie doesn’t get his news through the newspaper. I just roam the internets and get my news from websites like IMAO and Bodacious Busty Babes, er, wait a minute, never mind.
I get my news from your blog, from Captain Ed and that gulping New Yorker, and from Rush. I will follow my own death before I follow a twitter feed! I’m not even sure what that means, but it sounded defiant when I said it out loud.
Twitter????? Sounds like a disease indigenous to females If I am considered an old fogie by resisting Twitter, so be it. I am also resistant to cable, land phones, main stream news media and dish washers. My news sites? The internet.
The beauty of it you don’t have to go in Twitter to follow them anyway. This old foggie found out that eventually it gets out so it’s not like what happens on Twitter, stays on Twitter. Who needs all that extra work following the Twits of Twitter?
And how do you follow Twits on Twitter? Do the leave a trail of Twitter droppings we can follow?
“Mmmmm, these Twits are leaving some awfully big droppings. And man, they REEEK! Haven’t they heard of clean up after your Twit laws?”
The wife put up a bird feeder, and next thing you know, I’m awakened every morning by a bunch of twitters tweeting at the butt-crack of dawn. I figure they were probably conservatives, since liberals wouldn’t be up that early (as they have nothing useful to do). But I also don’t recall them giving me any information that was particularly useful. On the other hand, at least now I’m up early enough that the regular wakeup call of kids running in and jumping on my crotch is practically a thing of the past.
If Justin Biener is on Twitter, it can’t be that good.
“Twitter” is teh gay! It is the gayest thing I have ever heard of! If you “Twitter” you do the bugger too! As a matter of fact, if you “Twitter” you probably Bugger Small Children and should be thrown into prison where they will tell all the Home’es what you are there for…
What about Princess Buttercup? I can’t imagine her growing up to be “tax them till they bleed” liberal.
So what is Justin Wiener and why do I get the feeling that you must be a 12 year old school girl to care?
Well, time for a confession. (head down) Yes, lately, I’ve been following some people on Twitter…. I know. I’ve sunk to a new low.
So, who wants to know who and why?
I didn’t think so.
Where is the number place to be if you aren’t a Justin Beiber fan? Because I am F@#$@N moving there. I dont know if cell phones cause cancer or if tween stupid is contagious but I certainly dont want to find out the hard way.
Dittos to EVERY SINGLE COMMENT ABOVE!!! Except for the “Bodacious Busty Babes” comment. That was wrong and nasty…Oh, ok…dittos to THAT one too.
Whippersnapper!
@justinbieber
I LOVE YOU!!!111one1
Oh… um, this isn’t my Twitter page? Woops.
Give me my newspaper, or give me a paper cut!
So, now you consider Twitter to be a “news source”? I’m sorry, but there’s no other way to put this…that’s really gay.
When I follow people on Twitter, I feel like I’m stalking them.
I’m totally with you.
After all, I know I spend my day wondering what famous people think about what other famous people do.
And when they get into discussions, I like to just let my intellectual betters discuss it and then later tell me what I should think.
Well that or I prefer to be a jerk in the comments of blogs.
Twitter seems to make good sense if you’re a blogger and want to keep in touch with other bloggers. As far as the genital pubic I mean general public goes it just sounds like another “who’s more famous than who” jumping board ranging from startups on blogs & YouTube to full blown celebrities.
Frank, your Random Thoughts are perfect for Twitter because you aim right for the jugular funnybone. (Oh & they’re perfect for here too. Don’t you ever dare stop.)
Why is Justin Bieber posted here and at the Daily Gut today? Did I miss some awesome somewhere? Prolly not. Sounds like a gay name.
I gave up on newspapers because their news was old and/or biased. I was under the impression that Twitter was the latest High School Fad.
All my news comes from this Interweb thingee. And what if I am an old fogie, – I worked hard for a lot of years to reach this status. Grumpy old man – C’est moi.
I pretend to be a raccoon on twitter.
SPAM OMG

I get my news from here, Ace, Hot Air, Drudge, Rush, Hannity, Levin, Jon & Ken (I go there for the funny, they are funny), and every prominent blogroller they point to.
TV? EEEWWWWWWW!!!111!!! And newspapers…I’m just not that into Jumble or Ziggy don’tcha know. And they soil my fingers with their black asbestos ink. Remember that recent video of dead eels coming alive again on someones’ kitchen counter? That wasn’t because of citric acid and aluminum foil. They were lying on a few op-ed pages of the NYT.
We all know Twitter is for girls. SarahK likes Twitter which means FrankJ has to like Twitter. If Frank can convince everyone Twitter is cool, he won’t feel quite so gay. Next he’s going to try and convince us all that gluten free dining is awesome!
I like facebook better, one post a link or thought every 1-3 days I think does a good job letting people keep up with what you are up to.
Craig Ferguson new Twitter/Email intro video is great.
Sean Baby took on Carlos Mencias twittering.

Yes! Gluten free! I want my free gluten! Where is my free gluten! Give me my free gluten!
WTF is gluten anyway. Jello w/o the colored flavoring?
I have to admit, I was skeptical about Twitter at first, but after we organized a whole grassroots thing (anti-CPSIA) on Twitter, and after seeing the effect it has on my business, I’m sold on Twitter. I get more pageviews and sales every time I tweet about my booties than I ever do when I buy an Etsy Showcase spot.
@Post-racial John: Frank had to convince me to join teh Twitter, not the other way around. And gluten-free dining IS awesome if you do it right.
Hawkins list stinks because it doesn’t include me. To be fair, a can of Coke is following me, so I’ve got that goin’ for me.
