Hey Listers,

Twitter me this, Twitter me that. Doesn’t it seem like Twitter  is everywhere now? It’s no illusion, it really is. Over the past year Twitter.com’s traffic has grown 1,043% to nearly 20 million visitors last month. That’s a two followed by 7 zeros.  20 million! That’s the distance between your back door and Venus (the 2nd-closest planet  to the sun). That’s 200 times as many people than fit in The Shoe every Autumn  Saturday afternoon. So the question is, are you one of those 20,000,000?  Have you jumped on the bandwagon yet?

ListAfterList has – you can follow us at http://twitter.com/listafterlist and get updates every time a new wiki list is created. And so have many other famous  people and cool  companies – as well as some losers:

The Orlando Magic:  Just got trounced by the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
50 Cent: Lost to  Kanye in the rap album sales battle.
Paula  Abdul: Being replaced by the new, hotter, younger female judge.
MLB: Ratings continue to plummet as steroid allegations continue to  emerge.
Bushnell Boys: My three high school  friends that are the epitome of losers.
Dwight Howard: Despite dominating the feeble Cavs in the Eastern Conference finals, Howard and his Magic are truly the first and biggest losers of the 2008-09 NBA season (I may be a biased analyst).
Denise Richards: Anyone who had Charlie  Sheen and now doesn’t is a considerable loser.
Dane Cook: Likely the most hated comedian amongst his peers.
Jessica Simpson: Have you seen how much  weight she lost? She was huge!
Mandy Moore: Broke up with Vincent  Chase in last season’s Entourage… so sad, poor Vinny.
Heidi Montag: Lost any respect she may  have had after going on the “I’m a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here” reality TV  show.
Ryan Pratt: And you can always  follow me if you’re as big of loser as I am.

ListAfterList Updates and Reminders
Have you tried the new search on LAL powered by Google? It is much more  effective. Now you can think of LAL as a place of reference, instead of just a website where you can find randomly cool stuff and interesting trivial lists. Or try using LAL when you are looking for holiday  gifts for someone (i.e. Top 10  Gifts for a Star Wars Fan).

Your Fellow Lister,

Hey Listers,
It’s been a while. Hope you are still listing! Sure looks like you are. LAL has over 14,500 lists now! A lot has happened since I wrote you last:

 The new Indiana Jones premiered and bombed. Well critically bombed at least; box-office numbers did okay despite the horrid reviews and me walking out of the theater half-way through; did you know you can’t get refunds for movies utterly sucking ?

Seems like Harrison Ford has been around longer than sliced bread doesn’t it? Ford’s first role as a bellhop in “Dead Heat on a Merry-Go-Round ,” was the same year  the Beatles’ John Lennon  made the comment in an interview published in The London Evening Standard, "We're more popular than Jesus now.” Speaking of more popular than Jesus, did you know Ford had roles in many of biggest box-office hits of all time , though his role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (as Elliot's school principal) was deleted from the final cut of the film. It’s shocking that he is only #75 on the list of Top 100 Actors and Actresses with the Most Movie and TV Appearances . 

Other debuts include new iPhone 3G. It still sucks!

Big Brown made his bid at the Triple Crown of horse racing only to come up short in the final leg . No pun intended. But speaking of slipping up:

Sarah Palin tripped and fell bum -backwards into the Republican VP seat, political spotlight and harsh media criticisms (Caution: Alaskan ice slippery when wet).

As the Presidential election gets closer, more and more celebrities are choosing sides of the aisle. Hollywood is known to be left-leaning , but there are some celebs openly backing McCain as well on the other side of the aisle.

And how about Michael Phelps?! Not his political views; and actually NOT the 8 gold medals either, because that’s nothing compared to his daily food intake. 12,000 calories! Do you know what that is equal to? Have you ever tried to eat two Chipotle burritos? I have and I cannot even imagine ten! I have a better chance at London gold in the 200-free.

…Anyway, I hope you keep listing , adding to those wiki lists , and continually checking back with ListAfterList as it becomes the biggest thing since powdered milk . Or is it “biggest since sliced bread” and “longer than powdered milk”? Powdered milk was first spotted by Marco Polo in Mongolia in 1275; that’s not that long is it? Or very big? Wait, what does powdered milk have to do with anything?

Nevermind that, here is one final, actually important question: What are the options you have if your boss’s toupee falls on the floor?
