Oprah on Twitter....Oprah is our newest hot topic and member of twitter. I am sure Oprah twitter account won't take long to fill up and I won't be surprised if her followers don't explode the twitter server.

f there's something to be done, you can bet Oprah Winfrey will be all over it once she sets her mind to the task at hand. Now that the daytime diva has signed up for Twitter, at around 9 a.m. ET today, she's already going full-steam ahead with six updates!

She started off a little unsure it seems, in all caps (the equivalent of shouting), with: "HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY

As of 1 p.m. EST, she’s following just nine other Twitterers, all of whom acknowledged her presence: Jimmy Fallon (”The pastrami at Katz’s is the best. @oprah come see me in NYC and we’ll grab a bite”), Shaquille O’Neal (”psst everybody tweetup @oprah’s crib. Lol”), TV producer Sheri Salata (”We go live friday @ 9a cst for the tweet heard round the world. Start following oprah now!”), Ms. Moore (”Signing off ready for bed.

Oprah in the morning. Time to welcome her offically to the world of Twitter 7am PST! Good Night!”), George Stephanopoulos (”And Oprah, please take care of Ali today. Her head cold is a bear”), Ellen DeGeneres (”Oprah Winfrey - what are you doing on here?! Shouldn’t you be working on our cover?!”), Twitter CEO Evan Williams (”Just left Harpo HQ. What lovely people! So much fun. Watch the show later”), and of course, her best friend Gayle King (”@oprah Trying to see if I am doing right Help”).
