It’s rather breathtaking to contemplate how quickly Oprah Winfrey amassed 1 million followers on Twitter (she crossed the line just today). Wow, she really showed that Ashton punk, didn’t she?

check out how many followers @God has right now. More to the point, check out @oprahwinfrey — yes, it appears that some Twittersquatter was impersonating, or intending to impersonate, Oprah, and at some point Twitter shut that nonsense down. (“Sorry, the account you were headed to has been suspended due to strange activity. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.”) That’s a courtesy that Twitter has not only failed to extend to God Himself but to celebrities like Tina Fey, who has publicly stated that that’s not her tweeting at @tinafey. Not to mention Kanye West, who earlier this week published a rather spectacular, all-caps, anti-Twitter rant on his blog, including the choice lines “I DON’T HAVE A FUCKING TWITTER … EVERYTHING THAT TWITTER OFFERS I NEED LESS OF” and accusations that Twitter is purposely turning a blind eye to Kanye Twimpersonators.
