Do you twitter? You might be a twilebrity and you don't even know!!! As Vanessa Grigoriadis puts it "twilebrities are people - tweeple, in twitspeak - who spend their days typing 140 character messages into a digital rumpus room of about 55 million monthly users. For tweeple, e-mail messages are soonets, Facebook is just too slow while twitter doesn't even require real sentences, only a continual patter of excessively declarative and abbreviated palaver.
