Google can be fun

Last night I found that Kevin Smith is on Twitter. I feel compelled to bookmark his page, since I watch all of his films, am friends with him on facebook (and not just a random fanboy!) and myspace, and also download his smodcasts. But I don't have Twitter and likely never will. My simple criteria for Twitter is: if my life is not interesting enough to warrant daily blogs, then it's not interesting enough to have a random 140 character convo with lots of people while seeing that my favourite celebs are just as boring as me, only that they're richer. And besides, I have facebook, where I can do quizzes and find out what colour my aura is and what porn name my coffee mug should have (blue, and Johnson Biggs, if anyone is interested. That I use a gay coffee mug should not be surprising. That my girlfriend is still interested in me is!).

Except that I found Eliza Dushku on Twitter, and I must say, I have a thing for this girl. So to find her Twittering about online was uber-cool. But as I switch from stalker-mode to distant admirer I think that even miss Duckshoot wouldn't get me on there. You know, unless she personally invited me (please please please please).

I had never heard of Twitter until Barack Obama had his account hacked, and even then it took me a while to learn what it was (yay for google).

Now, what would be awesome is if TV and movie characters used Twitter. Imagine Darth Vader. Or Tyler Durden. Or Jay and Silent Bob (....hmmm....).

Actually, that's friggin genius. If I ever get a cool character like Tyler Durden in a book and published, I might have to set up a Twitter account just for him.
