Mythbusters are Tweeple too!

Do you watch Mythbusters? If so, you might be interested in knowing how many of the staff members are currently using Twitter to stay connected to their ever-increasing fan base.

The official Mythbusters Twitter feed is @Mythbusters.

You can find host Adam Savage here at @Donttrythis

And proverbial genius robot designer Grant Imihara at @grantimahara

Kari Byron got in on the action by hosting a live Tweet. You can find details here.

So far, Adam, Grant and the 'Show Itself' are the only Twitter feeds. I expect others might hop aboard the Tweet-Train soon enough...

Stars are out on twitter

Unless you've been living under a rock, you likely know Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore are on Twitter. But they are just the tip of the proverbial Twitter-Celebrity iceberg. Do you know any of these folks?



@AdrianneCurry If you arent soaked after your workout,& I am talking looking like you jumped in a pool, you most likely arent doing much 4 yourselves ; )

@ThatKevinSmith Via @Choccster "You back on the shakes yet, sir? Any weight updates?" Today, I'm starting a 100 calorie-an-hour diet. Maybe a little cardio.

@DougBenson And include #ilovemovies in your answer! What are my three favorite movies that Ringo Starr appears in?

@DameElizabeth Geary's is such a beautiful store filled with goodies. But, I hope you'll see both places for holiday ideas.

The science of Twitter

If you like science, but hate all the thinking required to learn something new, try devouring it in smaller, bite-size morsels. With Twitter. There are many great science feeds on twitter, including Mythbusters, Discover Magazine, and even some folks from the Science Channel (Meteorite Men)

Google taking over the Social Media World?

For the time being Twitter is the only service of its kind. But Google is looking to change all that. And it could. More and more news agencies are turning to the micro-blogging site to break stories and promote their web pages. There is money to be had with Twitter and Google knows it. Likewise with Facebook and its millions upon millions of daily users who post every bit of information that comes their way. Google sees money there as well.
And I haven't even mentioned the money to be had in the tablet PC market with 'e-readers'.
Check out the things Google has planned.

Strong rumor: Google will release a news feed that will compete with Twitter: http://j.mp/aapoLg

Just for laughs

There are a few pseudo- (and not so pseudo) news organizations posting to Twitter. When the actual news is too depressing, try some fake news. Here are a couple:

Space: No longer a frontier at all?

Have an interest in manned spaceflight? Then you might consider following some of these folks talking about the elimination of the Constellation space program and a return to Low Earth Orbit operations as presented by President Obama.

@doug_ellison
The melodramatic media will be presenting the new NASA budget as the end of manned spaceflight. It just isn't. Not even slightly.

@txflygirl the problem is, we may have become people-overall--who are no longer capable of doing the hard things to get back into space

@txflygirl

The real problem is not the what we are doing it's HOW we are doing it - in yearly governmental budgets. That's not how you leave LEO.
