Movie guys use Twitter, why aren’t you?

For those of you that do not know what Twitter is, you are living in an alternate universe, because if you aren’t on twitter, following people on twitter, or posting your own tweets then you are being left behind in the fastest growing web applications since the Myspace and Facebook revolution.

Twitter is a microblogging platform that you essentially lets you post little “updates” about anything you want. Similar to the Facebook/Myspace status updates, only with Twitter you can reply on your twitter to other people’s update. Example of one I replied to from @gmanreviews(I edited out a curse, family friendly always):

Twitter is especially great if you are into movies, movie news, or want to see a bunch of movie geeks fight/discuss movies. Here is a little snippit of Pete from Slashfilm taking a stab at Alex from FirstShowing:

If you haven’t already you can check out my twitter http://twitter.com/moviegeeks, where I post things about this site, live blogged Sundance, kept in communication with the condo dudes(@rejects, @slashfilm, @firstshowing) and generally just talk about crap, but of course it is interesting crap.

If you want to just stay up to date on movie stuff make sure you follow these guys aka “The Heavy Hitters”:

@rejects, @slashfilm, @firstshowing, @latinoreview, @geektyrant, @elmayimbe, @colliderfrosty, @gmanreviews, @screenrant, @horrormovies, @traileraddict, or go to my page and look at who I follow.

Here are a few celebs that I follow: Kevin Smith, Henry Rollins, Ondi Timoner, Sean Patrick Flanery, Darren Bousman. There are a ton of other celebs that I don’t follow, but you can check out a HUGE list of celebrity twitters here.
