Uh… Twitter is Real Life

For some reason, people think just because they can’t see or will never see whomever they’re chatting with means it isn’t real life. Sorry for the bad news, buddy but as long as there’s a REAL person on the other end of the conversation, it’s real life. Just the other day, I saw something retweeted by someone I follow saying, “I wouldn’t tweet anything I wouldn’t say in real life.” Dude. Twitter is real life. What I’ve noticed is some reason since one can log off, that in itself means Twitter is some type of fantasy world. I do recognize that there are quite a few people who use Twitter to mislead others into believing they’re something they aren’t. And I guess that’s where the faux-ness comes from. But there are just as many people who front offline as there are on. What’s the difference?

How many news stories have you read that involve people getting into it because of something said on Twitter? Just recently, Ray J (Kim Kardashian sextape fame) and rapper Fabolous had some type of issue over a tweet. As a result, the former went on-air with all kinds of slander for Fabolous. But Twitter isn’t real life, right? Real people get their real feelings hurt on Twitter. I’ve seen people ready to designate a time and place to scrap because of a disagreement ONLINE. Remember, though, Twitter isn’t real life. I guess people would think differently after they got real bruises from real fists hitting their real face.

Another thing is you never know who you’ll run into. I’ve randomly run into a few people offline in the past. I was at a lounge with a few friends and this girl came up to our table and asked if I was such-and-such on Twitter. I told her I was and she said it was nice putting a face to a name, lol. I thought it was extremely random but it goes to show you the world is very small. (That was slightly creepy.) You never know who you’ll run into. It might be the chick you flirt shamelessly with because you figure you’ll never see her. Or the guy you said had a face only befitting a NYC cab driver. I’m not saying kiss peoples’ behind but you really don’t know if you’ll ever see them; people are crazy #outchea! They just might run up on you and then that’s when Twitter WILL get real.

Looks like the Smith clan is trying to get a hold of the music game, too. The youngest of the bunch, 9-year-old Willow, dropped a track called “Whip My Hair.” Lemme tell you, Baby Smith has the innanets buzzin’! She became a trending topic on Twitter, with the Tweeps praising her effort:

Willow has a hit for sure. I like it & I’d definitely bang it in the whip. Take a listen for yourself by clicking here.

#TeamFollowBack, I Think Not

I get tired of people clicking the ‘follow’ button on Twitter and then tweeting me commanding that I follow them. WTH? No one had a gun to your head and told you to follow me. I don’t play the follow-for-a-follow game. I had someone do that today & soon after, I tweeted this (start from the bottom):

Thirsty Tweeters, go that-a-way ———————>

Guy Followed by Kanye West Shuns Attention

Last week, Kanye West decided to follow one person, Steven Holmes. Soon after Yeezy followed him, Holmes’ follower count jumped. There was even an article on CNN about Kanye following Holmes. I didn’t know that was really news.  At the time I saw that article, which was probably Saturday, Holmes had about 600 or so followers. I just went back to his profile, today and he’s at 3,000.

Right after Kanye clicked ‘follow’, Holmes tweeted that he felt “pressure” to tweet something interesting. And Kanye tweeted back something to the effect of tweeting wisely.

I guess news has been slow lately and since The Int’l A–hole is only following one person, he was being pursued by various media outlets.

Like Jay says, “It ain’t for everybody.” How could you put so much pressure on him, Mr. West? Lol. *Kanye shrug* Apparently, not everyone is an e-whore.

Back on Twitter: Chris Brown

It was brought to my attention, yesterday, that our favorite industry outcast has returned to Twitter.  Yes, Chris Brown has made his return to the social networking community during the latter part of the week. He rode in right on the heels of the self-made attention whore Tila Tequila.

Before his initial departure, he tweeted that he was being black-balled and some retailers were not selling his album. Sorry, kiddo, that’s how the industry is at times. Hot today. Not tomorrow.

I guess this is his campaign to get the spot he once held back. Hope it goes well.

Out of Line: Joan Rivers

Last night, Twitter was abuzz with the goings-on of the Academy Awards. Whenever an awards program airs, the people of Twitter give those who may not be watching a play-by-play of the event. From the wins to the awkward moments, Twitter doesn’t miss a beat.

One person that had been recommended I follow was Joan Rivers. She started out cracking me up but then her tweets took a turn for the worse.

That was mean. But wait, it gets worse…

After the second comment, the people of Twitter let her have it. I can’t even post some of the replies to what Joan said. I’ll just say #theywerenotamused.

Steph Jones on MAN-icures & Pedicures

It’s been raining like crazy, all day, so I’ve had a chance to check out Twitter and see what’s good. One of my favorite Tweeters, Steph Jones, posted a few interesting Tweets about men and pampering.

Lots of men think getting manicures/pedicures is feminine but it isn’t. Most women, including myself, like knowing that a man takes pride in his appearance and well-being. I like to be touched by a man with soft hands. Not someone whose hands grate whatever part of your skin they come in contact with. I’m glad he takes care of himself. And I’m sure Miss Sparks is, too ;]

all hope isn’t lost for music coming out of California. just in the nick of time, here comes swiff d. if you don’t know who he is, you better get familiar real quick; i did. it’s actually a bit random how i found him. one of my friends on Twitter was following him. i saw him having a conversation with swiff d and clicked on swiff d’s username. i peeped a few of his tweets and thought they were interesting, so i began following him. i clicked on the url on his profile, as well. it lead me to his MySpace.com/SwiffVega profile. i checked out the tracks he has listed and immediately dug them. also, just from listening to what was on his profile, i came upon pac div. hearing what they cook up together is crazy!

swiff d + pac div = crack

i really thought California artists and producers had drifted into obscurity. but hearing swiff d’s work gave me a new hope. i can say i am optimistic about the future.

swiff d’s story is a unique one. from homeless to producing for the likes of snoop dogg, red & meth, anthony hamilton and jadakiss.

[read more about him here.]

he is definitely one to look out for. he was also mentioned in an article, on Complex mag’s site, featuring the top 5 in-house producers to check for [click here for the article]

i wish him much success in all his endeavors.
