Tweet Tweet

I've been "tweeting" with "Twitter".

For the uninitiated (that would be you Jane!), Twitter is a free micro blog site where people post short updates of their activities called "Tweets", a bit like Facebook status updates. Only with Twitter there are lots of celebrities you can "follow" and interact with. The most follwed of all is Stephen Fry who as of this evening had 444,014 followers. Jonathan Ross and Philip Schofield are also prolific "tweeters".

This evening I received my first tweet reply from a celebrity... and just my luck it had to be an english rugby player!!! I decided to follow Will Carling as I though he might have some interesting insight into international rugby, albeit from a Saes point of view but it was worth a go. However the good Mr. Carling appears to be obsessed with Hell's Kitchen (something I don't actually watch). And we earlier this evening he made the following tweet.

willcarlingI think Danielle or Miss Dynamite get the chop.But how come Danielle hasn't had to cook really? She just stands near the pass?Hell's Kitchen from TwitterBerry

To which I jokingly replied

KazCymru@willcarling for a big macho rugby player you seem very obsessed with cooking! from web in reply to willcarling

And lo and behold I got a reply \0/

willcarling@KazCymru obsessed yes! But not big or macho to be honest!! from TwitterBerry

My first celebrity Tweet.... I wonder who I can get to reply next!!!
