RICHARD RYDER :: Celebrity Twitter Soup


Alright, there are a lot of people complaining that they find Twitter boring. And understandably. With only 140 characters to work with, it’s usually just the facts on Twitter.

I call it Facebook Lite. Twitter is like the Blackberry of social media while Facebook is the iPhone. No wonder long-winded, game playing Facebook types find Twitter boring. It’s just them and their friends. No distractions.

I say mix it up. Don’t follow your friends on Twitter! Most of them probably suck anyway! Start following the alphabet soup of celebrity lists. A, B, C and, yes, D-listers are SO gonna be more fun than your friends.

Trust me. This is why I follow Cher. On Twitter there’s no beads, no wigs, no makeup. It’s just Cher, and this bitch is crazy! Spelling mistakes and all!

- Richard Ryder is never boring on Twitter. (He spells right, two.)
