Well, it’s a step up from @ev’s first tweet — you’ve gotta give him that.

Not nearly as exciting as the tweets Bill’s going to send in the future.

The first of many morsels of wisdom to be shared by Twitter’s golden boy.

Another medium to keep up with Mr. Hilton’s musings — just what the world needed.

The only Hilton arguably worse to follow than Perez.

Then, after a two-week delay:
“Since people are complaining I haven’t tweeted enough, here’s the entire text of ‘Moby Dick’ by Herman Melville 140 characters at a time.”
God bless Weird Al.

Amazing they aren’t charging $4 per tweet yet, eh? Now, if only they’d incorporate that Starbucks menu translating technology into their Twitter stream…

At least Kim’s willing to openly discuss her fakes.
