In what might seem like a hypocritical move, Drew Barrymore has decided to join twitter, after she previously bashed the very notion of ever joining such a social networking site. Perhaps she simply changed her mind on the subject, but she did say before that twitter and other social outlets just allow people to stalk your every move and she commented that it takes away your privacy so she wouldn’t join:
“I know I’m an anomaly, I know everyone else is in love with it, but it’s not for me. I like people who use it for comedy to make people laugh. If people are making other people laugh and making jokes then that’s awesome. I just don’t like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world. If you meet someone, they already know everything. What about showing up on the date and saying, ‘What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?’ Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who f***ing knows? I am a romantic and it scares me.”
Already after reaching 25,000 followers on her new twitter account, Drew’s first tweet went as follows:
”Late to the party, but happy to be here. 140 characters should keep me from rambling… Someone told me it doesn’t all have to fit in 1 tweet. (sic)”
She has since begun to tweet about her latest appearance in InStyle magazine and is likely hoping to promote her Flower Beauty range via the account too.
