Twit, Twit, Twitter!

Twitter. Who loves it? The “rich source of instant information” is becoming increasingly popular amongst celebrities and normal folk alike. Some tweets are mind-numbingly inane - Kim Kardashian hawking diet pills, for example - and some are actually pretty creative, like when Rick Moody
Wrote a short story called “Some Contemporary Characters” on Twitter in 2009 (Of course, there's also CHAOS Magazine's own CHAOS on Twitter. Then there are tweets that take things to the next level, and these happen to come from Kanye West. He only joined in late July but already has amassed over 600,000 followers. You really have to read his Twitter to believe it, but here’s a sampling:

"Your album good @Justinbieber Playing it at my crib now"
"I got the best leather pants collection since the 80’s"
"Listening to Wu Tang with a suit on #ITHAPPENS"

Though Mr. West’s tweets are sure to exasperate his haters, his Twitter pomposity is like Versailles: expensive and a little over-the-top, but there’s a reason why so many people go see it. So if you find yourself bored out of your mind, head on over to twitter to find some amusing and non relative updates from your "not so favorite people" ... or then again, you could always follow our twitter and get a good laugh, or actually learn some interesting things. ;) @chaosmag
