Lisa is now Tickled Pink
Posted by Andrew | Filed under Mac Media
I am one of Lisa’s (LisaTickledPink) new followers on Twitter, a person who in only just the last few days has joined Twitter, been discovered by Kevin Rose and pushed to almost 12,000 followers by the TWiT Army. All in an effort to prove that Leo Laporte has more Twitter juice than some guy named Conan O’Brien, who apparently used to have his own TV show.
Lisa of course had the email notifications on by default to let her know when someone new was following her. Which means she woke up to an email box that was brought down to it’s knees. But, she’s going to get an iPad out of it as well as one of her thousands of followers. Hence, I am following her as of this morning.
The tweet that brought Lisa to so much fame and no fortune was “I hate technology,” usually technology haters don’t join twitter. And that was only her second tweet, and she only had two followers according to Rose on the latest episode of TWiT, when she was originally chosen. Lisa has since revealed that she didn’t know who Leo was (obviously, she lives in New Zealand and isn’t tech savvy.) or what an iPad is. She also says that Leo owes her a dress to wear for her upcoming radio interview, I guess she wasn’t lying when she admitted she wasn’t tech savvy.
But, how long will this popularity last? It is not very typical for someone to just get 12,000 followers over night, especially, someone who has only had an account for a little less than a day. I imagine that Lisa may be in for a big shock when the day after Leo announces the winner of the iPad, thousands of people leave her fold. But, that is what is to be expected, people won’t follow you unless you have something to say, something interesting, funny, thought-provoking, but something. No one got followers telling everyone what they had for lunch, and I can’t get followers because I can’t be bothered to tweet anything except my blog posts and Jazz games.
By the way, if you don’t follow me on Twitter, the Jazz beat the Los Angeles Clippers 107-85 on Saturday night (warning: instant playing video), I was there and it was awesome.
