Kirk is Twittering

Everyone’s favorite Stars Hollow townie is now on Twitter! Ok, it’s not *really* Kirk, just someone pretending to be him, but still fun. I imagine most of you have questions at this point, so let me begin…

What is Twitter?

Twitter is a social networking site. Kind of like Facebook status updates, but on overdrive. Each user has 140 characters to post messages (“tweets”) about what he/she is doing. And other users can “friend” you and reply to your messages. Just like Kirk did for me!

@arieanna Canada! It is great to meet people from outside Stars Hollow. My mother never lets me leave Connecticut

Follow Kirk

When you “friend” someone on Twitter, you are said to “follow” them. So, once you’re signed up, here is where you can find Kirk:

What Kirk Twitters

Hopefully the person behind this Twitter account keeps up the pretense, because it’s already been extremely fun for me! Some of the messages fake-Kirk have twittered are:

Another lovely morning in Stars Hollow. Taylor is trying to get Luke to put up harvest decorations again. I hope he puts up the turkey. [link]

Almost time for my shift at the Stars Hollow Beauty Shoppe. Taylor makes us spell it that way. Free makeovers for all! [link]

The status messages seem to give us the impression that time has not moved in Stars Hollow, but that Kirk is exactly where we left him. I wonder if the author behind this will pick up and evolve the “story” further?

Thanks to Crosby for the tip!
