Who Made Nick Douglas’ Twitter Book? (Answer: Nobody New.)
Ok! The Official Twitter Book made by 2.0 Leprochaun Nick Douglas made its way to me today. And I’m going to spoil it this weekend because quite frankly I’m not crazy about Twitter and also, I love spoiling books (HARRY POTTER IS A HEMAPHRODITE LIKE LADY GAGS, BTW).
You probably know some of the following people, who made their way into The Official Twitter Book. Watch as the world will glean knowledge and worldly “insight” from the same people’s whose writing already permeates your face on a daily basis. Oh, also, it appears Douglas dipped into the same well a few times. Okay: a lot. So much for variety!

*Previously noted as “Alumni” but YES I KNOW SCOTT STILL WORKS THERE JESSICA HE MAKES SURE I GET TO MAKE IT RAIN IN THE CLUUURB and also, for his involvement in Hype Machine, Scott should probably be classified with Rose and Crowley. If there’s anything to be said for Kidder, besides the fact that he’s terribly nice, is that he represents a pretty incredible cross-section of professional interests. Also, look at the amount of Gawker Media people on this list. Hysterical.
