What famous writers use Twitter?

Stephen Fry for one.

I use fluther and hope to be famous, does that count?

I (usually) write short posts here. I flitter.

Neil Gaiman

@Zen but do you Flutter

@aprilsimnel:I was just coming to say that!

I believe that Laurell K Hamilton twitters as well, as I’ve seen NG’s assistant, the fabulous Lorrain address her via twitter.

But Neil Gaiman’s twitter is incredibly cute—aside from stuff about writing, he also chats with his (widespread) children online and it’s freaking adorable. I suspect he also chats with his girlfriend, but I did not particularly care for her writing style, so I did not follow her.

Neil’s awesome (and he lives in my home state)!

@Cartman Thanks for that.

@Zen you’re welcome :)

Have I coined “flitter” first?

@EmpressPixie . . .I have always pictured Holly Hunter playing Anita Blake. Great series of books.

Sadly no it seems:

flit⋅ter
1  /ˈflɪtər/
–verb (used without object), verb (used with object)
to flutter.

Origin: 1535–45

A few other interesting meanings: “a fritter or pancake” or “Informal An empty-headed, silly, often erratic person”

Ah yes, but not as in to twitter on fluther = flitter.

:-)

@Zen then you are the Man. No question about it.

In the flutter video i thought he said fap only allowed 26 faps . It’s twenty past four in the afternoon , and my brain still hasn’t woke up yet

Edit: the proof being how many spelling mistakes i made , all corrected now tho i hope .

@EmpressPixie: I suspect he also chats with his girlfriend, but I did not particularly care for her writing style, so I did not follow her.

that amuses me, considering that I know her.

What’s Twitter?

@hartford3 – A message-sending site that consists essentially of endless Facebook updates – brief comments on “what I am doing now.”

@hartford3 Google it first to find out, but essentially it is like instant messaging to numerous people, up to 140 characters only at a time. It is to writing and communication what fast food is to gourmet.

@Zen I thought it was 160 characters.

I can not figure out how Twitter works….

@sandystrachan Nope, it’s 140.

What are you doing? 140
