Meat Loaf on Twitter

clpmss · 29 May 2009, 23:40

I can't read the whole journal entry on the other site but it does give you a link to the REALMEATLOAF twitter page. This is all I can read

Follow Meat Loaf on his official Twitter page link text

http://twitter.com/RealMeatLoaf

It says something is happening in 4 days and counting.

or maybe something about the album but I don't know how to twitter, just read the stuff. I tried to send a message but couldn't. I'm GUESSING this is the new site???? Read the last twitter message...

Hope this is the real deal and not some deluded fan like the one on facebook. Becoming a fan of a fan is just so ridiculous.

clpmss · 30 May 2009, 00:17

Meat is the only one who can post in the Journal on the other site...don't know who's running the twitter thing but it's not a fan faking to be him like on facebook. I'm trying to get the whole message from his Journal to see what it says

Pudding · 30 May 2009, 00:19

I wonder which sack o'shite sad tw@t is pretending to be Meat Loaf this week?

sorry but my account ran out months ago... still waiting on the "new" site to appear

daveake · 30 May 2009, 00:20

[confused] ... how do you know the Twitter thing is not some deluded twit(ter)? Given the number of people who think it's a laugh to create fake accounts, the latter is more likely unless you know better.

Meat is the only one who has access to the journal...nobody can write in it but him...you can't even reply to it and it's also on the home page

daveake · 30 May 2009, 00:26

Sorry, still don't get it. I think you're saying that the twitter message is the same as, or a condensed version, of whatever is in this journal thing. So, what's stopping someone who can read the journal from creating a twitter account and just copying the text over?

btw I wonder why it's "RealMeatLoaf" when "MeatLoaf" is free?

Gullible is somewhere in the dictionary between Dumb

daveake · 30 May 2009, 00:30

OK, now I see, the .net page LINKS to the twitter page.

Wish someone could have explained that simple thing earlier ...

Dave

Pudding · 30 May 2009, 00:32

Yeah, links to the official website would be useful. I'll take the

&

smilies back and save them for a rainy day

Maybe it was because everyone else knew it was that simple, so they didnt think anyone couldn´t understand it

**Monstro** · 30 May 2009, 00:36

From how it's written "Follow Meat Loaf" I'd say it's been written by his management company and isn't a journal entry. I'd say they're jumping on the twitter bandwagon because I think .net's down to a handful of members and anything they put on there just wont reach enough people. It's as genuine as we're gonna get and I'm interested to find out what's gonna be said.

Pudding · 30 May 2009, 00:36

LOL.

No. The announcement that Meat has a twitter page is posted on the front Home page of his official site, and gives the link to the page which basically says there are lots of "surprises coming up for my fans. Stay tuned!", so I think it's most certainly Meat on the twitter page and not someone pretending to be him.

As to a tour .. he's already said that we should dust off our show shoes in readiness for a tour in 2010 :)

MeatLoaf (http://twitter.com/meatloaf) is not free/available... Its a girl by name Holly DeVooght from Michigan who uses that Twitter-ID...

It seems like shes a musician (http://www.myspace.com/12458504), but I dont know why shes using MeatLoaf as her Twitter-ID/name...

Yes, I know, as I posted a few posts above. Up to that point no-one had mentioned there being a link from .net, a fact which of course nails any doubt about the authenticity. Some of us never go to .net on account of it never having anything worthwhile to read, you see.

Understanding it is easy; knowing it is the problem given the tiny number of people who bother with .net these days.
