Comment on Confirmed: Ice on Mars. News broken by Twitter.parent

Comments

I can't fathom if you're being sarcastic or what. If not, why do you think this has any bearing on widespread twitter usage?

I'd say it's more likely it'd get big if celebrities were using it, or people on the big brother show or something, but news from mars lander? :/

Yeah I was being sarcastic and I 100% agree with the celebrity comment, even if it is a sad reality. Mars reporting via twitter isn't going to entice Joe Public to sign up for twitter. Real time reporting on celebrity nip slips and Brad and Angelina's children will.

Celebrities are using it. Well, their lackeys are the ones posting, I'm sure. If those actually are celebrities.
