Last but not least: Tweeting war between celebrities
People generally perceive chirping as something beautiful and soothing. For some time now, however, most of the "chirping" has been happening via mobile communication devices. And the tone isn't always cheerful and friendly...
People actually perceive birdsong as something beautiful and calming. When we hear the sounds of birds, we feel closer to nature. For some time now, however, people have been tweeting mainly in offices and via mobile communication devices. Micro-blogging or "tweeting" is the name of the new addiction. However, the short messages spread via the social network Twitter are not always of a cheerful nature. Such as the war currently raging between celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and British pop singer Lily Allen. Hilton had called on his Twitter friends to use Twitter to campaign for him to make a guest appearance in Allen's next video clip. The singer did not find this amusing at all. "Sorry, but we've already cast someone else in the role of the envious faggot," she hissed at him, before getting even more crude. Hilton will be fine: He will have no shortage of readers in the near future. But more serious contemporaries also spend their time on the ultra-fast network. The service is now so widespread that more than ten percent of members of the German Bundestag and high-ranking American politicians let the whole world know about their current activities several times a day. US National Security Advisor Peter Hoekstra recently even revealed a highly secretive trip to Iraq via Twitter. "Just loaded in Baghdad," the US diplomat announced via microblog.
