WLOSer and diva Darcel Grimes has joined the Twitter nation. I’m not sure how many other WLOSers are doing the Twitter thing (Larry?), but Darcel is certainly the most high-profile local television personality tweeting away.

If you take a close look at Darcel’s page, you’ll see that she’s snatched a photo I shot of her and used it for her profile photo. Darcel, that’s not cool. (Here’s my original photo.) You need to ask my permission to make any use of my photos; at the least, give me credit.

Here’s a sample of Darcel’s recent tweets:

Wow. I never thought I could less about something as much as I do about what Darcel Grimes is doing at every hour of the day…

If this is the future of communication/journalism, God save us all.

Who cares? Who has the time to follow EVERYONE around on twitter? Must be a VERY boring life!

What’s most important is that you can see where she sent two tweets my way in your screen capture.
