Barbara Walters Mentions Twitter on The View

First off. Yes I watch the View.  Sorry, but I love the sometimes senseless and sometimes valuable drivel that the ladies bring to the table each day.  But today, low and behold, Barbara Walters explained Twitter to the ladies of the View and to millions of viewers in America.  It’s no secret that Twitter is becoming more and more mainstream, but for Ms. Walters to mention it on her show, it’s likely to become a topic of conservation on many playgrounds and after school play dates with the moms across America.

The way Barbara Walters explained it was very simple.  She said it was like sending an email to thousands of people with the push of a button. Yes that’s true, it is like that and so much more if you know how to use it.  Funny coincidence that right after she mentioned it Twitter went down.  Some people on the web are saying that all the ‘view’ers crashed the site, but according to Twitter it was due to a power failure in one of their data centers.  The moms that got the infamous Twitter fail whale where probably like WTF Barbara?

Based on the reaction from the ladies, it looks like Sherri Sheppard tweets and Whoopi and Elisabeth don’t (yet).  Hard to say if Joy does, but she knew some of the Twitter lingo, so maybe she does.
