Frankly, I’m more concerned that Kyle and Jackie O made it on that list to begin with. It really says something about the selection criteria.

Social medias like twitter is an effective way of advertising your products and services to your followers. Twitter is an awesome tool that even Hollywood superstars, famous athletes and rock stars use them to update their fan base which is of course directs to their websites if necessary.

Wow that young girl needs a lawyer so she can send the mother and the other 2 somewhere where they can reflect on their stupidity which was only to gain themselves some attention. As for Twitter, I’m learning more and more about them everyday – these comments were interesting. I will digg this topic.

I really don’t know how the mother could have agreed to all this. i think the fault is primarily hers, because she let her daughter humiliate herself in public and live on TV and she just stood by and watched. what the hell was wrong with her?

These people are a disgrace to our country. Get them off the twitter list and keep them off the air.

When was it that Twitter become a moral compass for society? Really, what’s the whole point of this?

A previous article of yours highlighted that twitter isn’t really a social network and is basically a means to “blast messages out to a group of “followers”” (which I totally agree with). It is my impression the SUL is just a selection of popular and largely followed members and not high watermarks for society. If anything they should remain on the list as they are most likely now more famous than ever.

Twitter is not and never was about high quality content. The SUL seems to me to be all about name dropping as a means to market Twitter. So really, what does it matter as long as its all gaining media?

Hey Alister — it’s my understanding that they were actually taken off the SUL the same week that the scandal occurred…at least that’s what I was told by my contact there when i gave him a heads-up about it.

Like you suggested, Alister, I really don’t think the powers-that-be at Twitter have the slightest idea what Kyle and Jackie O have gotten themselves into. You would like to think that, if it was brought to their attention, that they would distance themselves from the shock-jock pair, for whom pushing the line of “good” taste was going to tip them over it sooner rather than later.
