So, it’s official. Twitter is hip, Twitter is hot, and—until the next social networking phenomenon comes along and knocks it off its pedestal—Twitter is here to stay. But with everyone and their mother (literally) jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, it’s hard to know who to follow, who to retweet and who to block. Fortunately, Playboy has sifted through the heaping piles of twit and identified the sweetest tweets, with help from our loyal band of 34,500 @Playboy followers. Our Babes of Twitter are hot, funny and they’ll keep you captivated with 140 characters or less.
