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

Edited on Wed Jan-26-11 04:44 PM by 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.

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.
