Twitter, Fandom friends vs. RL friends

I've had a twitter account for almost 48 hours now, and I've been amazed at how much I'm using it already. It's like a nice blend of LJ and FB, somehow, and easy to use on my phone. :-D

( On a related note, I had a bit of an epiphany this morning. )

Hee!

Just got this in my inbox:

Thx for being a "tweep"--I hope you RT me hard & often! Don't forget to #FF me if you like my stream. Oh Myyyy, that sounds naughty.

An auto-response thing, I'm sure, but it made me giggle! I wish Tom Felton had messaged me when I started following him... </perv>
