Kanye West finally joined Twitter yesterday.
Upon hearing this, we had two thoughts:
- How was Kanye not on Twitter already?
- It’s only a matter of time until Taylor Swift’s account gets hijacked and Kanye’s is proclaimed the greatest Twitter account of all time! OF ALL TIME!
Just kidding. Kanye’s entry into the Twitter-verse began with this simple, boring declaration: “Up early in the morning taking meetings in Silicone Valley.”
But then: “Lol I spelled Silicon wrong ( I guess I was still thinking about the other type of silicone ITS A PROCESS!! : ),” Yup, he’s definitely arrived.
We expect at least 120 Tweets a day, Kanye.
The big surprise to those of us who follow West is that his Tweets are not in CAPS LOCK, the rapper’s preferred method of communication on his blog.
Instead, he seems to prefer no capitalization or punctuation at all. Makes it a bit tough to read, but we’ll take it over all caps. Much less threatening.
Kanye West may have joined Twitter later than many stars, but he can take comfort in the fact that his arrival was highly celebrated and anticipated:
He’s already cracked 200,000 followers, and “predictedkanyetweets” – in which fans predicted future Kanye-isms – was a Trending Topic yesterday.
No Tweets so far about him shagging Shay, sadly.
