Oprah is on Twitter! The picture above is her first official tweet on the hottest microblogging / social network now.

Oprah Winfrey officially joined Twitter after naming Asthon Kutcher as Twitter King.  CNET announces Oprah&#8217;s first day as Twitter&#8217;s Big Day! And 15 minutes after her signed-up, she already have 76,000 followers, and the end [...]]]></description>

<span id="more-427"></span></p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.oprah.com/index" title="Oprah's website"  target="_blank"><strong>Oprah Winfrey</strong></a> officially joined <a href="http://twitter.com/home" title="Twitter"  target="_blank"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> after naming <a href="http://twitter.com/aplusk" title="Kutcher on Twitter"  target="_blank"><strong>Asthon Kutcher</strong></a> as <strong>Twitter King</strong>.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.cnet.com/" title="CNET.com"  target="_blank"><strong>CNET</strong></a> announces Oprah&#8217;s first day as <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10222030-2.html" title="Twitter's Big Day! Oprah has arrived!"  target="_blank"><strong>Twitter&#8217;s Big Day!</strong></a> And 15 minutes after her signed-up, she already have <strong>76,000</strong> followers, and the end of her first day (as of this posting), she have<strong> 299,834</strong> followers.</p>
<p>On her first day, <a href="http://twitter.com/Oprah" title="Oprah on Twitter"  target="_blank"><strong>Oprah</strong></a> only made <strong>10 tweets</strong>, and what interesting tweets they were! She tweeted <a href="http://twitter.com/THE_REAL_SHAQ" title="Shaq on Twitter"  target="_blank"><strong>The Shaq</strong></a> and , <strong>pledged additional 20,000 mosquito nets</strong> to <a href="http://twitter.com/mrskutcher" title="Moore on Twitter"  target="_blank"><strong>Demi Moore</strong></a>.</p>
<p>And if you noticed Oprah&#8217;s first tweet were in <strong>ALL CAPS</strong>, Shaq was quick on the button and reminded her that <a rel="nofollow" href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17939_109-10222626-2.html" title="Shaq reminds Oprah"  target="_blank"><strong>her Caps lock is On</strong></a>. Would anyone dare to tell that her too?</p>
<p>Interesting names she follows too &#8211; <a href="http://twitter.com/kingsthings" title="Larry King"  target="_blank"><strong>Larry King</strong></a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/TheEllenShow" title="The Ellen Show"  target="_blank"><strong>Ellen DeGeneres</strong></a>, and of course Kutcher and Moore. She only follow <strong>10 Twitterers</strong> at present &#8211; well, a person in her status can really who to follow.</p>
<p>Not that she really needs it, but with Kutcher&#8217;s 1 million &#8216;influence&#8217; on Twitterville, expect Oprah&#8217;s to reach that mark too&#8230; and perhaps in record breaking time.</p>
<p>With Oprah on Twitter, we can expect it to be on limelight more often now &#8211; and not to mention, and an even busier network.</p>
<p>No, I haven&#8217;t followed any of these celebrities yet. I&#8217;m afraid I might get overwhelmed should they  follow back.</p>
<p>Of course, it doesn&#8217;t mean that I will not follow them ever. <img src='http://thestrugglingblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/"  target="_blank">YouTube</a> is fast becoming a great venue for artists to showcase their talents (including a lot us frustrated ones)</p>
<p>And <a rel="nofollow" href="http://ellen.warnerbros.com/"  target="_blank">Ellen DeGeneres</a> seem to be fond of finding talents, especially Filipinos on the said medium.  Remember <a href="http://www.charicepempengco.com/"  target="_blank">Charice Pempengco</a>? She <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8fR2jroUxE"  target="_blank">saw her on YouTube and invited her on her show</a> and since then Charice has become an international sensation, appearing on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.oprah.com/index"  target="_blank">Oprah</a> and even performing in an Obama event.</p>
<p>Now, Ellen found two more great talents on YouTube who <em>staged their performance inside the bathroom</em>.</p>
<p>They are <strong>Erin and Roxanne</strong>, who called themselves <strong>Rin On The Rox.</strong> They have uploaded quite a number of video on YouTube showing their great talents. You can check all their videos at their YouTube channel <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.youtube.com/user/hiphoprox"  target="_blank">hiphoprox</a> (I am already subscribed <img src='http://thestrugglingblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  ).<br />
<span id="more-91"></span></p>
<p>But Ellen believe that they deserve to have more than the bathroom as their stage. That&#8217;s why she invited them on her show&#8230; adding that they have a beautiful bathroom there.</p>
<p>Here is Ellen&#8217;s shoutout to the girls:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gjg-v6yUjFo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Gjg-v6yUjFo&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Indeed, a talent is a talent, event if you express it in the bathroom, if it&#8217;s really good it will come out.</p>
<p><strong>So will Rin On The Rox follow the way of Charice Pempengco?</strong></p>
<p>Too early too tell, but with their talents (<em>and charm</em> <img src='http://thestrugglingblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) that is not a remote possibility.</p>
<p>In the meantime, while waiting for their response (and visit to her show) Ellen also made her own bathroom performance. And here she is:</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qRnNL9CihLc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qRnNL9CihLc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>So let us wait for the development of this event.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I will convince my kids to form that family band I&#8217;ve been planning to when they&#8217;re old enough.</p>
<p>Well, I guess they&#8217;re old enough <img src='http://thestrugglingblogger.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
