Keith added about 13,000 new Twitter followers in just 24 hours

[grasswire]

His new count of followers is almost 210,000.

People are talking to him about his lunch at a New York deli (hot pastrami, mustard only, diet pepsi) and watching him get used to a new cell phone to take pictures of NY snow, etc.

It's all quite chummy and interactive.

1. And he's getting paid lotsa dough while doing this and anything else that pleases him just for grins

[grasswire]

2. he also has a Twitter handle "FokNewsNetwork" that has almost 20,000 followers

The only Tweeter FokNewsNetwork is following is a pretty woman named Eugenia who describes herself as "Russian heart, Jewish brain, black soul" and lives in Germany.

3. I follow that, too

Did you see the thanks to him at FOK that he linked to about a radio station and his generosity? Ego shmeego, the guy has a lot of heart. :hi:

5. and i was one of 'em

after reading his hilarious tweets during the SOTU, i got a twitter account ... just for my KO. :loveya:

[ladym55]

16. I did, too

The man is a RIOT!!! My favorites were his comments on Michele Bachmann not looking at the right camera. :rofl:

[jwirr]

6. So for those of us who are not up on all this stuff. How is joining done?

I read his stuff yesterday on both sites and want to be a regular.

9. go to twitter.com

sign up
then select people to follow. You can do a search ... in KO's case, I'm subscribed to KeithOlbermann and FOKNewsChannel.

I monitor it from the twitter webpage.
Some people do it from their phones.

What i'd love to get is a constantly streaming small window, like a small chat window, so i don't have to always refresh the screen to read the latest tweets. Can anyone suggest a better way to read tweets? I'm new to this too.

I've been a follower and commenter for a long time. All these new additions will just make him more of a hot commodity for the future.
