— Robin Williams (@robinwilliams) January 23, 2013

Pug snapshots. His first tweet ever was published just eight hours ago, but it looks like he's got this Twitter thing down cold already.

I’m really shocked he’s not been on Twitter until now.

  right? i mean he could’ve stolen tons of jokes from twitter by now.

    He only steals good jokes.
    
    Actually it is kind of weird he hasn’t gotten onto it until now because he is a bit of a tech nerd otherwise.

    Not to sound cynical, but he’s doing a lot of promotion for a new film he’s in at the moment, I’m guessing this is part of the strategy (nothing wrong with that, of course).
    
    Saw him on TV (yesterday?) doing an interview – guy was off the wall; full-of-cocaine off the wall.

      What a radical departure!

  Twitter, eh? I always wondered what he was on.

Thus taking the “most annoying person who is on twitter” title from *someone* — probably Martin Short. Or maybe Lily from Modern Family.

  Victoria Jackson?

Leonard looks like a pug I could trust.

Somebody ask him if he still supports Lance Armstrong as fervently as he did back in the day.

So what?

Steve Martin’s on Twitter too – do you care? Whoopie Goldberg – do we care about her? Captain Freaking Kirk – who here cares about that one?

It’s worth a BB post only if he tweets his junk – maybe.

  “Steve Martin’s on Twitter too – do you care?” – Yes!
  
  “Whoopie Goldberg – do we care about her?” – Kinda!
  
  “Captain Freaking Kirk – who here cares about that one?” – Me!
  
  But they haven’t only just joined Twitter, so I guess that’s why it’s not news.
