Comments on: Erykah Badu twitters while giving birth

Not only did one of the world's great singers twitter away until the baby began popping out, she claims she is calling this, her third child, Twitty Milk.

She is certifiably mentally ill!

Oh, come now, mrcjacobs.

Surely you know people far more, um, clinically eccentric than Erykah?

Would it have killed you to link to her twitter page?

[ChrisMatyszczyk]

Yes, mDotAlmighty, yes, it would.

OK, so it's ok for an unborn baby to have a twitter account (per your article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-10150781-71.html) so it can twitter every in-womb motion to its follower, but not ok for the mom to twitter its actual birth?

Well, I'm not sure I was entirely complimentary about the unborn baby thing, either, Mexic0. This Twittering thing seems very strange to me.

I don't know if you're a boy or a girl, but I can't imagine being in the midst of the childbirth thing- something of a messy and uncomfortable experience- and wanting to communicate with 4500 people about it...

How about you?

Thank you for commenting.

I agree with Chris. The last thing I'd want to do is play on the internet let alone tell the world what's happening in details. I guess since she's semi-well known it was a PR move? It did get Chris to write a story on it and us to talk about it.

Three kids, three different fathers. Says something about this girls morals, or lack thereof, doesn't it? So why act surprised when she decides to turn child birth into some weird text exhibitionist thing?

"Anyone know if Janet Jackson is a twitterer?"

I bet she was till she has a texting malfunction and they ban her account.
