If the Hollywood Reporter twitter stream was an unborn baby, I would have a very convincing talk with its pregnant prostitute mother on the virtues of being pro-choice.

I’m worried that every time I have a tweet that’s longer than 140 characters, it’s just going to wind up on tumblr. But maybe that’s not something that I really need to worry about?

You Don’t Get to 500 Million Friends without… something.

The last few days I’ve had a couple experiences on the social networks that I feel should be mentioned.  First, a girl I only met once sent me a friend request on Facebook. I accepted it, because whatever, and then the next day I noticed we weren’t friends anymore. What’s the deal with that? Did she find something in my profile that she just couldn’t handle, something that wouldn’t let her ignore me on her friends list like I ignore everyone on my friends list? It’s weird.

Then later I got a letter from Twitter telling me I had a new follower. It was a comedian who I admire and think is really funny. Cool, right? Well, by the time I checked my Twitter, he was no longer following me. I hadn’t even tweeted anything new yet, and he was already gone. Oh well.

And then, to end this on a cheery note, an @ reply joke I sent to a guy I’ve been following on Twitter since 2007 when I joined Twitter was favorited by him, so you know, that’s cool.

I definitely don’t obsess over this stuff. I use Twitter to tell jokes, read jokes, and vomit my thoughts to the world. I use Facebook to—well, I don’t really use Facebook. But it’s interesting to see these new social interactions surface. P.S.: If you don’t heart this post, I’m totally going to obsess over it.

I like this picture, even if there’s no such thing as a social media expert.

I find this infinitely amusing.
When popular comedian Paul F. Tompkins was trying to get his twitter verified, he apparently took this picture of himself, holding a piece of paper to prove that his twitter was actually ran by him. Then some guy wrote the brilliant comment: “Nice try, Mark Twain.” I have seriously laughed at this like at least five times today.
