Hey, Friends on Twitter

[deelaundry]

Remember way back when, when Greg Yaitanes blocked us all because we were reading his posts? (And because of the fake HL & RSL accounts.) Well, now he's opened up his Twitter again!

Wonder when that happened.

A couple weeks ago. Omar suggested him for Follow Friday. But I think he also has a private Twitter that stays locked.

Not that it's kept away the crazies in the past couple days, if you know what I mean.

He shot some Huddy, yo. I can imagine he's been flooded with PMs and tweets.

Yeah. Certain parts of the fandom are... not happy with him. Generally the ones who take things too personally and also think that Hugh has no soul.

Speaking of Hugh, look how amazing Yaitanes is to us: http://yfrog.com/0pdhhwj

Someone thinks HL has no soul? That's a new one to me -- I was under the impression fandom thought St. Hugh walked on water.

(To clarify: I do think Mr. Laurie is talented, charming, and genuine; I just don't think he's superhuman.)

I believe the "Hugh has no soul" remark was made by someone on HHoW.

ETA that here it is (http://houseofwhining.com/viewtopic.php?p=120306#120306).

First I hear of Hugh having no soul. Interesting...

I just found him tonight and am following. Did you know god has an account on twitter. Now we don't have to go to church, we can just tweet with god!

I have a Twitter account but I never go by any more. Too much to keep up with; it makes me look like this: @_@

I have no idea how Stephen Fry does it!

I wouldn't be surprised if he hired someone to tweet for him. You're right, it is a lot of work.

[namasteyoga.livejournal.com]

He's been posting a lot of photos from the set today too, which is fun to see.

I've been wondering if he's gotten more involved with Twitter and using it as a promo because he only recently was named co-executive producer, so now he's doing more in terms of promotions. (I think it only came into effect late last season.)

Of course on the flip side, it looks like someone via twitter told him about whoever it was on twitter that's been leaking spoilers. (I intentionally haven't followed that spoiler tweeter, but have heard chatter today that the tweeter may have been outed.)


ETA: Photos like this one (http://img25.yfrog.com/i/dhhw.jpg/) and the photo on the side of that link with OW pretending to "direct."

Yaitanes mentioned early on that he was one of the early investors in Twitter, too. He has a financial stake in Twitter doing well, in addition to his new stake in House doing well. : ) Rosie suggested above that maybe he's hired someone to run the Twitter account for him... that's what I'd do if I were him.

[namasteyoga.livejournal.com]

Perhaps someone is sending stuff for him, but just the random shots of the set today while he's working (like the view of Omar in the camera feed from camera two, which would be a display he has from the director's chair) seems much more like stuff he's snapping while he's there. If it were just reminders to "watch House" and ratings, I'd think someone else is doing it.

RSL and Twitter? That would be awesome, unfortunately he's like a ninja. Always hiding from the public, and the media, and the fans and oxygen.

If he did have one, the poor man would finally find out how much people in this world love him. It's his problem he's so damn irresistible, and handsome and awesome etc, etc. :D

[hibernia1.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm following him now. I love Twitter SO MUCH. I almost love it as much as LJ.

[daisylily.livejournal.com]

I tried about a month ago and he was still blocking people. I suspect someone like Doris or Sarah Hess or Omar explained how (mostly) harmless fellow-twitterererers were.

I tend to put all my Twitter followings on RSS feed, then I can just catch up with the ones I want to.

He's definitely doing PR for the show with his account. And I do think it's him because he's also plugged his wife's blog and her Costco love (with her purchase of a snuggly.)

He's tweeted me twice so I now consider us BFF.

Straydogla is David Straiton who has also directed a lot of episodes. He's also unlocked but he doesn't tweet a lot.
