VANITY FAIR ON THE TWITTER PHENOMENA

Queens of Twittering may send up to 1000, one hundred forty word, messages a day, and so far there is no direct financial profit in it. This Vanity Fair article by Vanessa Grigoriadis is about the way some people embrace new technology and hire GHOST TWITTERers to keep their fans updated with the minutia of their lives.

I personally have no time to Twitter and am not that interested in the minutia nor do I imagine anyone at all interested in mine. Really impactful personal "sharing" dates in coffee houses are rare to come by as well. Seems to me the best use of Twitter-like reportage is for purposes of MARKETING.

I believe that some people DO NOT KNOW THEY EXIST IF THEY ARE NOT CONSTANT WITH THE REPORTAGE.

Have you experienced meeting someone for coffee and feeling like you may as well come alone since the person across the table is too busy with their cell phone - texting - to pay much attention?
