[...] - If you do the obvious thing and latch on to a ton of followers very easily, the signal to noise ratio on Twitter is lousy. The more followers you have, and having a lot seems to be the thing, the less likely you are to read more than a small fraction of their Tweets. Popular Twitterati with tens of thousands of follows are basically absentees. When seeking followers, be careful what you wish for and clear about what you want to get out of Twitter. OTOH, even celebrities with tons of followers sometimes hear amazing things about themselves first on Twitter. [...]

When did Techcrunch become Valleywag. How does one make a story out of this?

Shaq has always had a playful sense of humor.

His tone, especially when trying to read beneath the surface of a 21 character Tweet in response from a dude named DJ J*TREY should probably not be taken as gospel.

You Tech-Nerds @ TechCrunch and their blind offspring have really compromised whatever ’stock’ you had left once you started evangelizing your own Twitter following and these ‘Twitter is God’ stories.

He would know something was going down with his agent, plus he would need to approve the deal or whine if he didn’t want to go. Its been talked about for a while so he probably knew a trade was likely just not exactly when it would happen.

You people that believe that Shaq found out via Twitter are a bunch of Twards. Shaq has to play coy. You know how many times these guys get baited into revealing behind the scenes deals by reporters? He can’t let on anything before deals are officially announced, even if they are leaked by insiders.

Pulease, go back to your regularly scheduled delusion.

Give it a break, he clearly was just playing dumb. Of course he knew and was probably very involved in the whole negotiation process, but he wasn’t standing by while his publicist hit send on the fax machine, so he would wait til he heard from someone in his organization that the news was on the wire before he commented. For all he knew, it hadn’t been announced, and he was being baited to confirm a rumor.
