Twitter Fact: Mindy Kaling = 1,400,000+ Twitter Followers

That's it.

Random Ann Curry Tweet

Twitter Love:

I just saw "Mao's Last Dancer." It was so good I saw it TWICE and cried both times. One of the best movies I've seen in some time.

And Yes. You Too Can Follow North Korea On Twitter (And YouTube)

I don't even know what to make of this except that it's MF crazy. What's next? A North Korean private web cam channel where you'll pay to see people not getting their ass kicked or maybe just something even a little more perverse?

Like people eating at a buffet?

Now that I think about it...

Listen on NPR.

Twitter Censors The Tila #Fart?

This could be of interest - or maybe not - for some reason I thought I'd post it on up anyway.

Four hours ago, MySpace queen Tila Tequila encouraged her Twitter followers to make the hashtag #FARTS a trending topic. They succeeded, putting #FARTS just below Michael Jackson in the number three spot. Apparently, Twitter doesn’t like that sort of thing. They just pulled #FARTS from the trending topics. Twitter normally pulls trending topics they suspect to be spam — but does an honest show of fandom, however quirky, count as spamming? More to the point, how could they possibly brand Tila, a Verified Account holder, as a spammer?

And just in case you were wondering, the TT page is in fact protected now.

The mysteries of a Tuesday...

156 Asian And Asian American Links To Follow On Twitter

A few notes about this list:

• It's not in any order whatsoever because it's just more fun that way.
  
• For the most part, they all seem to be the real people.
  
• Definitely not all inclusive by any means and if I found a link that didn't update since April/May, for the most part I didn't put them on here.
• If you're wondering about the number 156...I had to start/stop somewhere.
