Media Journal Day 4

Twitter is something that truely amazes me. This sensation started recently and has completely gone crazy. From movie stars to athletes, it seems that everybody is twittering these days. It essentially gives you up to date, and even up to minute thoughts of these people that they post on this website that you can "follow". It gives the basic American the power to follow some of their favorite famous people or even close friends as they post their thoughts frequently. It is essentially the "status update" of Facebook put into its own website and this idea has gone crazy. I cant say that I personally have given into this latest fad but I have found myself following some famous people just for fun to see what they are saying. Everybody knows how Charlie Sheen has gone off the deep end but now you have the ability to follow every single one of his thoughts and know what this idiot is saying. Charlie Sheen had one of the fastest increases in followers after he started his shenanigans and people genuinely wanted to know what he was going to say next.
