KO's Twitter account Bio is again mentioning Countdown & linking to Countdown page - CHANGED
Edited on Mon Jan-24-11 03:16 PM by highplainsdem
http://twitter.com/KeithOlbermann

Name Keith Olbermann
Location New York, NY
Web http://countdown.msnbc.dom/
Bio MSNBC Countdown 8 PM ET & PT MLB.Com Baseball Nerd: http://bit.ly/teC3o Get a lot of tweets, often can't reply due to evidence of doctored or fabricated ones


He's even mentioning the show times.

This is interesting, since he'd removed the Bio mention of Countdown and the link to that MSNBC page earlier.

This is the version of the Bio that was there yesterday (when there was no website link):

Bio You might very well think so; I could not possibly comment. (MLB.Com Baseball Nerd blog returns 2/14)




UPDATE: Keith has changed his Twitter page again, both the website link and the bio, removing the Countdown link and mention. It's now:

1. Perhaps he'll be a guest on O'Donnell's show tonight?
Just idle speculation; no evidence.

2. Very strange
Got a tweet from him today saying that his first tweet (other than the one he sent) would be at 8 p.m. tonight. It's weird that he changed his bio back with the show times.

5. It's the inclusion of the show times that's especially strange.
I guess I could see him linking to the Countdown page again for the info there -- but putting in show times, when there's so little Bio space on Twitter?

Hmm. I just googled the current bio and found out it's exactly the same as the old one on Mashable's twitterlist of liberals (on the cached version of the Mashable page, which Google saved on January 14).

So he apparently just copied his old Bio in there to replace the newer versions, not bothering to edit out the show times.

Sigh.

I was hoping it might have more significance. MSNBC will never be the same without him.

At exactly 8 Eastern tonight I will issue my first tweet. Well, other than THIS one :)
less than a minute ago via web

7. Probably. And since I found out minutes ago that the "new" Bio is an exact copy of the old one
I'm guessing he just didn't bother to edit out the show times when he reposted it.

8. Plus, no doubt he is proud of the show and the work he did (in spite of management there.)
