Porn Stars and Twitter



Before even reading this article, since purchasing an iPhone two weeks ago, I honestly can't get enough of Twitter these days. When I have nothing to do or are passing thru the halls alone, I love the fact that by whipping out my iPhone and making a few finger movements I can read what some of my friends, "followers" and people I am "following" are up to.

With the iPhone, applications like Twitfon and Twitteriffic make it really easy to post these under 140 character mini-blog posts as often as you like. Before obtaining the iPhone, I did not like the application as much. I only made updates on my laptop and by the time I sat down, logged onto my account and thought about my post, something about having to remember what I wanted to write an hour ago just seemed to lack authenticity. With a device like my iPhone, it takes less than a minute to post a thought or an idea.

I've also noticed that a lot of celebreties are also using twitter, which is a great way to broadcast yourself and to keep up with your fans. Following suit, Rappers and Bloggers alike have also taken advantage of this program... so I suppose it was no surprise to find out that many famous porn stars are doing the exact same thing.

In terms of porn I think this is going to be revolutionary, because porn is such a socially taboo subject, that this will allow porn fanatics to quietly and quickly take a glimpse into the lives of their favorite starlets at their leisure with complete privacy anywhere on the planet where they get cellphone reception.

I find this especially interesting because I feel that since porn is regarded as so hush-hush and taboo that they are an industry that constantly needs to embrace new technology and the DIY ethic (ie: the internet) to keep their anonymous legions of fans 'stimulated'.

On a more personal note, I have not subscribed to any particular porn stars, but if you'd like to subscribe to my feed it's HONORROLLER.
