Well, as you all know, I'm a raging bitch. And as you may not know, the total number of tweets I've made seems to be going DOWN rather than up lately. I'd hate to be the intern assigned to "cleaning up the raincoaster stream". Augean stables, anyone? #twitter
1. Make a new Twitter account (or use an already-established one),
2. make sure it's public -- so that its tweets will show up on search.twitter.com -- and then send out several tweets,
3. make sure that the tweets have variety: normal, trivial ones; @replies to non-famous people; nice @replies to famous people; mean @replies to famous people (to both some of the same people that some of the nice @replies were sent to and new ones); etc.,
4. conduct a ton of different searches on search.twitter.com and track the results: search immediately after sending tweets, a couple of hours after, a day after, etc. and then see which ones a) never showed up in the search, b) showed up but then disappeared, and c) showed up and stayed,
5. see what the results tell you about the question you're trying to answer.
I'd be happy to test it out if you'd like me to do so. Let me know. #twitter
I think it'd be hilarious if I did it with either @dinalohan or @kiera_knightley. The problem, though, is that Dina technically doesn't really know how to @reply to people and Keira is too much of a snob to really bother. #twitter
@narnio: I'll probably create a new one and not "reveal" the identity until I'm done testing it (who knows, Ev Williams could read Gawker), but I'm tempted to just use @helen_thomas. #twitter
Hey what about that Eddie and the Cruisers looking dude? The one who dated Zuniga's character. What was his name, Jake, or something similarly named for the ubiquitous motorcycle riding, Richard Greico-esque pseudo-bad boy? Yeah, Greico is responsible for a whole legion of these be-leathered, tight-panted, hair-geniuses of the early nineties. Stamos and Matt Leblanc, thank Mr. Greico.
So although I'm loathe to admit that I clicked on the nobody-cares-about-me Kristen Stewart link, I have to ask. What is the deal, truly, with this statement from the article:
---
Kristen says it’s "bizarre" that people want to copy what she wears — especially when it’s items out of her own closet.
"The things that have been sold out have been the things that people are actually able to get that are semi-cheap," she explains. "Those things like sweatshirts and jackets, those things are mine, which is bizarre to have people go out and buy."
---
I'm very confused. Does she, and she alone, own the rights to grungy teen angsty clothes, much as Paris Hilton owns the rights to "that's hot?" I had no idea this girl was the inspiration for the sudden phenomenon of sweatshirts and jackets.
Can't wait for this thing to come out! George Hickenlooper, the director, is on my FB friend list, just like Defamer’s own dearly departed Seth Abramovich. And his updates on researching the material, getting in a brawl with some retarded Huffington Post columnist who b*tched him out about how he committed a felony by visiting Abramoff in prision, and the shoot itself have been riveting, hilarious. FTW!
Foster, I love you, but you gotta proofread your copy before posting. Send it to me first and I'll proof the damn posts for you. Really. It hurts my brain seeing them online like this.
@Foster Kamer: "Vanessa' mom"; "TMZ things Britney spears"; "encroaching on your stories grounds"; "for years, now." I'll let you slide on the unnecessary hyphens in "item-by-item." Cheers!
Wow. You missed the LA Times article on how Fox has dumped "Saving Grace" and ordered only nine episodes. Seems they won't renew it as the religious background story won't sell well overseas, but I smell a dead fish. One can only hope that another network will pick this up, as Holly Hunter shines in this drama.
@Richard Lawson: We should be 'caring' as TNT is trying to do some alternative TV dramas that the usual ol' networks won't pick up. Some are good, some are great and yeah, some stink. But better than the usual rehashed trash on the other networks. At least they're not continually showing reruns of 90 comedies and actually giving young writers and producers a chance.
*Mock it if you must but it was that video that inspired Annie Proulx to write " Brokeback Mountain" . Also the real cowboy at the end is crazyhot.
* totally made that up.

Although on further reflection, I could probably get behind that plan.

@DeltaGuy: This? Not cute.
But I suppose I'm missing the point.
