UPDATE 03/03/09: Skittles has redirected its domain to Facebook. It is as of yet whether Skittles has left Twitter permanently, or whether it is planning to periodically redirect to its various social networking sites. For more speculation, see Mashable.
UPDATE: Apparently, Skittles broke Twitter…?! The Skittles website now just goes to its Twitter feed, and Tweeters are clearly enthralled.
ORIGINAL POST 03/02/09: Twitter is getting a workout today.
Between the Dow dropping below 7000 after Obama finally revealed last week what he was hoping to change in America, 15 inches of Global Warming shutting down airports in New England, and the hillarity which ensued after Barbara Walters attempted to exlain Twitter on The View – There’s just so much to tweet (and retweet)!
I haven’t been able to get onto Twitter for 20 minutes, now and I’m already having withdrawals.
If you’d like to follow the Twitter trends in real time – check out Twitscoop, and watch the tag cloud on the right. It’s fun!

I love this, the “15 inches of global warming” about made me fall out of my chair. I live in central Florida and as a cop I work shift work. I experienced me some serious global warming last night. I miss the days when we didn’t have it and I wasn’t freezing my badge off in the middle of Florida.
Buffoon reminded me it’s called “climate change,” when it’s this cold outside. (See: A Dirty Filthy Collectivist Eco-Commie Tea Party.
Try to keep your badge warm, Robert.
