I don't check Twitter everyday but I like to logon every now and then to quickly scroll through my follower's tweets. Twitter is not exactly a source for news. What I like are funny one-liners to lighten a particular mood. That's why I mainly follow comedians, and comedian Sarah Silverman is always good for hilarity in 140 characters or less.

He got kicked off a plane, stormed Twitter and… now what? The majority of us by know already know about the whole Alec Baldwin-American Airlines fiasco, but the actor may have left out a few crucial details. According to American Airlines, Alec Baldwin wasn’t thrown off the flight simply for playing ‘Words With Friends’ on his cell phone, as the actor had alleged in a series of Tweets.

Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media sites have changed the way young people interact with each other, but according to a survey from Poll Position, the majority of Americans don’t think this has been a change for the better.

That's right, amigos. We're EVERYWHERE. Still kinda spastic, but EVERYWHERE. Michelle, Rich, Elle, Kevin, Jeff, the digital dude Cole and maybe even Tate will be making guest appearances to brighten your Tweetosphere and keep you informed of all things MOOSE.

Kim Kardashian can now say she has something in common with Katy Perry, President Obama, Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga. On Monday, the reality star and denizen of the ranks of the famous-for-being-famous became just the fifth Twitter user ever to rack up 10 million followers.

Chances are good at least one “d’oh!” was uttered in at least one Netflix conference room Tuesday morning. It seems the company, which on Monday announced it would split up its service and rebrand the DVD-delivery side Qwikster, neglected to lock up the name on Twitter. Now Jason Castillo, who’s owned the @Qwikster name on the microblogging service since April, wants money — big money — to hand it

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Neil Diamond, 70, announced on Twitter that he’s engaged to his co-manager, Katie McNeil.

The brains at web development and design company Go-Globe created a stunning infographic that breaks down the internet activity happening every minute of the day on sites like Twitter, Google, Facebook, and Skype. And it’s kind of amazing.

The French government is notorious for banning the use of English words as a way of maintaining French language and culture. However, a recent ruling by the French government, which now makes it illegal to speak the words "Facebook" or "Twitter" on television or radio newscasts, isn't as shocking as you might think.

Staying in touch is more important than staying in smell. A new survey from McCann Worldgroup of more than 6,000 people around the world found about half would be willing to give up their sense of smell over the ability to engage in social networking.

The iconic voice of Gilbert Gottfried was fired as the voice of the Aflac duck after Gilbert rattled off what he thought were hilarious tweets poking fun at the events of Japan's current disaster. Aflac is a major insurer in Japan, a fact that Gilbert apparently was unaware of previously. Gilbert's tasteless tweets inside.

Now I'm not a Tweeter, I've never even checked out Twitter's website. That's one social networking tool I don't want to explore. It just seems way too self-indulgent to me. I mean if I was a celebrity I guess I could see the benefits in it. If thousands or millions of people cared about any random thought that popped into my head then I could probably use that to my advantage.
