Oprah continued her world domination today by joining Twitter. To celebrate the occasion, she'll have Twitter CEO Evan Williams and actor Ashton Kutcher--who just reached 1 million followers (!)--as her guests on today's show. I'm not sure what's more scary...the number of people who follow Ashton or the number of people who will get the fail whale while trying to sign on to Twitter today.
CNET predicted that this means Twitter has officially broken out of it's tech niche and will become a much more mainstream form of communication. In honor of this occasion, I've created my own list of what it means to have Oprah join the world of Twitter:
- Stedman's 20 minutes of attention per day will now be reduced to 17 while Oprah does her tweeting
- Oprah's next weight loss-themed show will feature a heart-felt plea to the fail whale to really get to the heart of why he's so fat.
- The words "TwOprah" or "twOprahing" will now join the Twitter lexicon
- Gail will be replaced by a cute little bird as Oprah's main sidekick
- People who miss an episode of Oprah will be able to get the highlights on Twitter, "Tom Cruise on today's show. No couch jumping. We got him a leash. "
- Producers of the show will only be able to speak to Oprah in 140 character statements.
