    Another example of how Twitter is ultimately headed in the same direction as MySpace. Unlike in Facebook, where user growth tends to be organic, trusted, and authentic, growth in Twitter tends to be forced through spam and shady direct marketing tactics. Eventually Twitter will be overrun with spam and noise (if it isn't already), and the company will suffer. Unless you happen to be using a 3rd party tool to read your feed, chances are it's already overrun with crap and genuine messages get pushed down out of view. The current interface for viewing tweets in Twitter is shit. UX is just another in a long list of things (e.g. systems administration) the people at Twitter have no skill in. How the fuck these guys get so much press and VC is beyond me. #ellendegeneres

    Your first spam follower might seem special: "Wow this nice lady found my twitter page and she wants to read updates about my fascinating life. And she is naked."

    Then, it dawns on you that she might just be pretending to be interested in your tweets in order to get you buy whatever she might be selling. A trick!

    The second time, you know better than to follow back. So I suspect the experienced twitter users will not be too flattered by this. #ellendegeneres

    Lists are just Twitter's version of a TweetDeck Killer. One they can control and, if they had been intelligent, which they were not, monetize. #ellendegeneres

    If I thought for one second it was actually Ellen following me, and not some 22 year old intern, I might be excited (and I use that term loosely.)

    When will people learn that Twitter can be kinda cool when it's quality, not quantity. #ellendegeneres

    But why does the bandaid say Wade? I'm confused. Does Lil Wayne wear a band aid for Dwayne Wade? #birthdays

    Wow, that's impressive. If it looked exactly like him, then there'd be cause for real concern. Nice that they got the festering scab (tattoo or whatever) on his forehead. It really wouldn't have been Weezy without that identifiable marking. Exactly the kind of details a coroner would need to know, right before everyone just well, hacks into his face. Educational! #birthdays

    All that 'work' on the 'cake' and someone writes "Happy Birthday Ireland" with the precision of a great-aunt with Parkinsons. #birthdays

    @Juancho: Given that there is no reality show about Kim Basinger and the town she bought, I can only assume she's deceased. It's sort of like celebrity death in absentia.

    Any celebrity who doesn't appear on TMZ for more than 3 months is presumed to have died, likely due to a botched neck lift. #birthdays
