Yesterday, we all learned who the biggest narcissist on the micro-blog/social network website Twitter was.
Actor Ashton Kutcher became the first Twitter user to gain one million followers. It was so important to Kutcher to be idolized by over a million followers that he asked fellow narcissist Sean Combs (who makes do with a measly 400,000+ followers) to assist him.
Anyway, move over Ashton! As soon as that other pathological narcissist, Oprah Winfrey, found out about Kutcher’s achievement, she came running. It’s not enough that Oprah is the Queen of daytime talk show television — now she has to conquer Twitter too!
It’s just a matter of time before Oprah makes sure she breaks Ashton’s record.
Around 10 a.m. today, Oprah posted her first Twitter message:
“HI TWITTERS. THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY,” she wrote in all caps.
I am looking to gain 1 million followers. Pass on my name to your friends and followers. Let’s show Mr. Ashton Kutcher that regular folks can do it too. LOL. Hit me up on http://www.twitter.com/attorneymom.
Sidebar: I got nervous when I saw the title of the post. I thought the post was going to be about me. LOL. What an ego!!! LOL.
I am following O ….
me too!

@ Iyonah
Can you directly talk to people through twitter? Or do you talk to them through your update? If so, how do they know when you are talking to them if they are not following you? Thanks
Maybe those girls at her school can Twitter her if the someone starts doing the touchy feelys again

I KNOW YOU ASKED IYONAH, BUT YES YOU CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THEM, IF THEY DO RESPOND. MICHELLE WILLIAMS, DIDDY, KELLY, AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE REALLY DO RESPOND. YOU HAVE SOME ON TWITTER THAT ONLY COMMENT, OR GIVE ADVICE, LIKE REV RUN, AND HE FOLLOWS NO ONE.
I hate twitter even more now than I did before. Do they get paid for twit hits? What’s the point.
Can’t wait to see how many stalkers are arrested behind twitter.
I just can’t do Twitter. I’m not even going to sign up to see what the hoopla is. Blogs are it for me.
Sidebar: I actually hate twitter. LOL.
I’m all for the cyber stuff, but twitter just seems to be a bytch too much ….there’s too much instant instant going on.
i signed up for twitter and forgot my password ..lol … and then i didn’t see the point .. i have instant message … on my bberry storm .. it notifies me when i get a Facebook update .. i don’t understand it .. so i don’t even bother to log in ..
@ MUNCHOSGIRL
Thanks… I was talking to anyone who had a minute to respond!! So if I just put something in my “update” box to diddy, he will see it? I am sorry if I just asked the same question twice…but I really don’t get it!! lol
I’m not gonna lie, but i do enjoy the celebs tweeting back n forth to each other lol, but i couldn’t do it
@ MUNCHOSGIRL:
So, I take it he couldn’t have made the donations without gaining a million followers on Twitter? Lol.
The thing about Twitter that I don’t like is the obsession about following people. I don’t get that. I can only follow maybe 25 people tops. If I follow more than that, I wouldn’t be able to read their twits. There are people on there following 600 Twitters! To me it’s just a senseless numbers game, and not really about communicating or networking.
Next these celeb’s are going to just have a camera follow them all day so we can see their day to day life… Ooops my bad it’s called reality tv.
Technology is going to be the death of us.
I only got a Twitter account after Trey Songz got one. And just like you said, it DOES take away the mystery. I might regret this later but I wish I never got one lol. Wish I never followed him and wish I never signed up for his SayNow lol. I’d much rather remain ignorant. Besides, he’s too overly positive with them daily positive quotes that sounds like they were straight from “The Secret.”
Though I only follow 5 people (none of which are Diddy, Shaq or Solange) I’m thinking about deleting my account. And truth be told, it’s just like having an AIM away message for the whole world to see.
Thanks so much for answering Munchos. I was working HARD!
BUSY FRIDAY!
Yall can follow me if you want …
@ CooCoo … I unfollwed Trey – he doesn’t update enough for me. In fact I need to go through now to unfollow some folks.
I follow @iamdiddiy because I am TRULEY locked in! Going & MAKING IT HAPPEN!!!
Maybe 25 people tops — I just went form 37 to 19 … I really didn’t even realized I had been following folk I don’t even really care to follow
Team Oprah but I am NOT going to twitter doesn’t float my boat to those who love it ENJOY!

HE DID COMMIT TO IT EVEN IF HE DIDN’T WIN THE BET WITH CNN. YES, IT WAS BEFORE HE REACHED THE MILLION TOO.
Twitter is evil and it must be stopped. I can’t deal with it–dont even go on the site. I joined FB for networking with real professionals; left myspace cuz i got tired of the “professionals” sending me dumb messages and kids posing as adults waiting to make an innocent person life hell when they mommy finds out what lil susie’s been up to all this time….it was all too much.
Facebook is more than enough fa me.
