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.

Twitter


I've become quite addicted to this... I don't even know what to call it. An online social networking application?

It's similar to Facebook's "USERNAME is:________" function at the top of your home page, but more to the point... 140 characters max to update on how you're doing or just to write whatever you feel like telling your 'followers'. Basically sending all your friends a small rss feed of what you happen to be doing.

Especially now with the iPhone, it's easier than ever to make updates.

The name is HonorRoller, if you want to be one my 'followers'

You can also read my updates on my blog (to the right of the browser, near the top).
