why am I doing this?

Best tweet ever.

ShanshuBugaboo | April 16, 01:22 CET

I JUST added this to the 'Nathan Fillion' thread.

I wonder what the fake '@Alyson Hannigan' is going to do with her time now?

missb | April 16, 01:24 CET

Already sent her a welcome tweet

Desertpuma | April 16, 01:24 CET

Yay, my first story and I didn't butcher the url.

missb, I saw you had added it right after I posted. Quick on the draw :)

CrazyKidBen | April 16, 01:26 CET

Hmmm... so she did change her name then? I'm aware actresses often keep their "stage name" the same but I thought she really was Alyson Hannigan.

jkalderash | April 16, 01:30 CET

Hee-hee-hee!

I wonder if Alexis's version of Tie Me Kangaroo Down" includes the lost last verse "So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde"?

Oh heck, after I amde upa second verse of "Toora-Loora-Loora" just for my daughetr, with her name, I was reduced to singing "Streets of Laredo" and "Down in the Valley (Birmigham Jail)" which were the closest to lullabis I knew; I'm surprised I never sang her "Danny Boy." No wonder when she got older she always said "Don't sing at me." And she enver even watched Keeping UP Appearances.

Amber, Adam, Felicia, Nathan, now Aly; healthy trend.

Hmm, i want to finish my filk "Aly Lee" (to the tune of "Aura LEe/Love Me Tender") and send it to Alexis on the set of his new flick but now I think I need to write soemthing for Satyana too... "Oh Satyana, ci hun ta pei." Well, it needs work.

DaddyCatALSO | April 16, 01:32 CET

Ahh... Alexis singing Rolf Harris? Too. Cute.

Leaf | April 16, 01:32 CET

Don't forget about Juliet!

CrazyKidBen | April 16, 01:45 CET

Juliet Landau is on as well and she is even including verbs in her tweets now. For the long time it was "Gym" or "Tired"

Lioness | April 16, 01:48 CET

Adam is on Twitter?

Der JagerMeister | April 16, 01:57 CET

That would be Adam Busch.

Dizzy | April 16, 02:11 CET

:: Cue Family Affair by Sly and the Family Stone ::

We've got you in our clutches now my pretties, caving to the societal pressure (soon all the Whedons and their extended network) of Twitter. We know you hear its siren call...

Tonya J | April 16, 03:07 CET

Anybody mind listing the Twitter names of who the Whedon alums who are out?

Emmie | April 16, 04:24 CET

Ok, I'm about to show just how 'net ignorant I am, but...

What the bloody blue blazes is Twitter?!?

ShadowQuest | April 16, 05:51 CET

The question is not what is Twitter, but why...

I'm getting old.

Krusher | April 16, 06:15 CET

Alyson Hannigan (@alydenisof)
Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion)
Miracle Laurie (@miraclelaurie)
Juliet Landau (@julietlandau)
Felicia Day (@feliciaday)
Adam Busch (@adambusch)
Amber Benson (@amber_benson)

Plus @brianlynch and @drhorrible for writers.

And... that's it? I think...

redders | April 16, 12:10 CET

@whedonesque of course.

Simon | April 16, 12:12 CET

I can see how mind-blowingly addictive Twitter could be and so, as with 'World of Warcraft' and its ilk, I decline to partake ;).

That said, I also don't really see the point personally - I mean I get that it's very 21st century to step outside of and comment on absolutely everything, guess I just see a danger of forgetting to actually live your life cos you're too busy telling everyone how you live your life.

Or in short, I too am getting old ;).

Saje | April 16, 12:20 CET

Well we don't need Big Brother. We're perfectly capable of revealing our emotions and thoughts to the wide world off on our own bat.

Simon | April 16, 12:25 CET

I still don't know that I get twitter. I mean I understand the concept and how it works, I just don't know that I get it as a cultural phenomena. It seems very self indulgent.

war_machine | April 16, 13:07 CET

I don't see that posting one's thoughts on twitter is any more self-indulgent than posting them here in a discussion thread. It's just that on twitter, people's thoughts are linked together in different ways.

It's really just a new way to share information quickly. For example, I don't think the Susan Boyle phenomenon would have happened nearly as quickly without twitter driving it.

AlanD | April 16, 14:19 CET

I'm she finally joined up. That fake profile from a few eeks back had me hoping she would join.

ChampBlankman | April 16, 15:00 CET

Don't forget about the Whedon Trivia game on Twitter. Last month the winner got a signed Eliza Dushku photograph.

@whedontrivia

WhedonTrivia | April 16, 16:01 CET

Who was it signed by ?

Saje | April 16, 16:04 CET

He'll be here all week; try the veal and tip your waitstaff!

zeitgeist | April 16, 16:12 CET

They do a good job under trying circumstances.

It's not so easy for those that can't hear me either ...

Saje | April 16, 16:15 CET

Yay! I'm now following all the Whedon-y folks. Thanks, redders and Simon.

Emmie | April 16, 16:29 CET

Umm...hello?

I still don't get it. What the heck is it? And why do people get all excited about it?

ShadowQuest | April 16, 16:31 CET

Think of it as a sort of blog where posts can only be 140 characters or smaller. And people follow each other's tweets so it's also a sort of social networking site.

Folk get excited about it presumably because if you're into it it excites you, just like anything else you're into.

Saje | April 16, 16:38 CET

The underscore in amber_benson is essential, otyherwise you reach an innocent bystander. (Not an unusual name; when I worked for T-Mobile I put her anme in and got 6 customers, none in California. What? Stalkery, little ol' 300lb moi?)

ShadowQuest: Think of it as cross between ablog and a text message. Allows the user to be their own publicity agent if they think they're doing something interesting, or to play reporter if they're seeing someone else do soemthing.

DaddyCatALSO | April 16, 18:11 CET

I admit Brian Lynch is my favorite of the Whedon folk. He is so inventive and has made my sides hurt from the laughing at times. The goat stuff and pitching meetings he attends are classic.

@ItsSethGreen (it's his people, but good to get Seth news)
@CaptainHammer (though not sure who is behind it; I still follow)
@TimMinear (not sure what's going on w/his Twitter account)

Tonya J | April 16, 18:21 CET

I know that this is OT, but does anybody know when Alexis starts filming the movie "Milo"? And who else is going to be co-starring with him besides Fernanda Romero? Of all the upcoming movies being made, this is the "one" film that I am definitetly looking foreword to seeing.

Little Green Kid | April 16, 23:17 CET

Little Green Kid,

Variety Article.

Also, the screenwriter, Jan Wilson's blog describes the film:

Milo is a dark drama about a postman in London who falls in love with a woman on his route and uses somewhat questionable means to woo her.

Sounds like a perfect role for Alexis!

and uses somewhat questionable means to woo her.

He dons tights and does crazy kung-fu moves with accompanying Hai-Yah's(!!)?

Tonya J | April 17, 02:48 CET

Heehee, a girl can dream, right Tonya J? ;)

ShanshuBugaboo | April 17, 04:08 CET

Sigh. I'm waiting for cloning technology to be perfected.

Tonya J | April 17, 04:30 CET

I was so upset about fake @AlysonHannigan. Fake Aly was a huge geek and that was super hot. She even had @DontTryThis, Adam Savage of Mythbusters, fooled.

Then she started tweeting about being pregnant when real Aly already had her baby.
