Is Matty on the Twitter?!
« on: July 05, 2010, 11:40:29 PM »
Is this the Matty Ballgame or a ruthless impostor?

If it is the man himself, then it looks like he's renouncing his Luddite ways  :D

Ah ha, very good point!

Had a look, doesn't say it's verified, but if it is an impostor, they're doing a pretty good job at impersonating  ;D

No offense, but it's Matty, not Emma Roberts or Demi Lovato or something. Even Rian Johnson doesn't have a verified mark on his account, but that's still him. Verified accounts, as I've encountered them, are generally for tens to hundreds of thousands of follower accounts belonging to nation and worldwide celebrities who tend to appear on large nationwide cable outlets.

My guess is there was a little sarcasm intended in the above posts, fly. We get it, we're not celebrities.

Yes, it's Matty.

I see Adam has not yet become accustomed to the ways of the FLY.

Anyway, cool to see Matty on Twitter. Also, I hope everything is cool Adam, and hopefully you're ready to do the show soon.

I don't see the sarcasm  ???

Either way, I mean no offense by it, you guys keep me entertained on a weekly basis, more so, I'm sure, than many of the 'celebrities' who twitter seeks verification from. Or I guess that's how the process works. Celebrity is all relative to an individual's perception anyhow, as far as I'm concerned you guys are more celebrities than Justin Beiber. Regardless, my point is that one should not put too much stock in the verified status on a twitter account, or the lack of verified status as the case may be.

Indeed! Wasn't there a movement on the internet to get some sort of sarcasm signifier into everyday use? Whatever happened to that I wonder?

Anyhoo, I can confirm that my comments were said with tongue firmly in cheek  ;)

Teal also works.

Transformers 2 was a near masterpiece.
