Heh. Fans of cats and/or silliness (sp?) will enjoy the newest twitter celeb, Sockington the cat. There's also a Sockington facebook page. A 'publicity photo' from his facebook page:
Apparently, Sockington's twitter feed was highlighted by twitter as a feed to follow and before he knew it he was shooting for at least 500,000 twitter followers (as of now, he has 550,298). That's pretty much his claim to fame.
HIs twitter style has been described (somewhere, I can't remember where) as 'free jazz prose' and that sounds about right. He twits in alternating caps and lower case which adds something, though I can't quite put my finger on it, to his twits. E.g.:

FIVE YEARS AGO MOM SAID GO WAIT BY SUBWAY STOP AND GET FREE FOOD mom was right thanks mom
