I’m still trying to figure out exactly what Twitter is good for. So are a lot of people. The noise far, far outweighs any signal, but there are actually a few bits of interesting things happening amidst the seemingly endless parade of vapid comments seen on the public timeline.

For example: TwitterLit posts the first lines of books, plus a link to Amazon (I wonder how much affiliate income is generated by all that Twittering). Twitterku writes all Twitter updates in classic 5-7-5 haiku form. And stevenwright Twitters like, well, like Steven Wright.

It was actually stevenwright who made me wonder: What other celebrities Twitter?

Well, Frank Sinatra Twitters. So does Donald Trump. I found Spiderman, Batman and Superman Twittering, though Superman only gives updates to friends. Sanjaya and George Bush have Twitter pages, as do Dick Cheney, John Edwards, Bill Clinton, Paris Hilton and Don Imus.

Imagine if some of them were real.
