Oprah Gets on Twitter
HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY .
That was Oprah Winfrey’s first post on Twitter. Bored housewives everywhere gasped in amazement. Technology enthusiasts everywhere facepalmed at the phail. With that one horrific tweet, microblogging crosses the Rubicon from cutting-edge cool to mainstream duh.
Ashton Kutcher, who beat CNN to one million followers on Twitter, was on hand to help Oprah type 140 characters into a simple Web form. The actor even spouted aphorisms about the democratization of media, something most geeks figured out years ago.
At this point, anyone who doesn’t grok microblogging isn’t just a non-geek. No, it’s far worse than that. After this, anyone who doesn’t get microblogging is even more mediocre than Oprah’s audience.

Damn you for making sense, and thank god I grokked twitter a full month before Oprah. Now I can be a billionaire like her right?
I hope these people just give some sense out of their tweets. There’s this vibe these people are in for the flaunting of the thought that they’re tweeting lurking about.
