Now that Oprah's Infiltrated Twitter...

...I was thinking perhaps she needed to turn her sights to other more, um... grass-roots promotional venues that she hadn't considered previously...

(And no, the lemonade stands won't be in competition with your kid's-- I bet she'd allow franchising rights and everything... )

Of course, we all know none of us really need to bother Twittering anymore now she's lighting the way.

Do you folks have any suggestions for future expansion of her empire?

All non-serious suggestions welcomed.

  Me, too. And I bet she didn't even come to you for advice about it, either?

  Somebody just mentioned to me that Oprah had announced she'd be running a marathon. All I thought of was all those marathoners who have dedicated their lives to running...
  
  And the only thing that the media will be talking about is that Oprah is running.

Yes. She can follow me on Twitter. It works both ways.

This is such an excellent post, Jenn. I posted my idea on your site. But I wonder whether Oprah could take over for USPS? She could issue a variety of stamps, all with her face on them of course (like her magazine)... And letters could be delivered every day precisely 5 minutes before Oprah begins... so her viewers are home and in place to receive their daily dose of her invaluable wisdom.

[gags a little at the thought]

  I still like you, Crystal. Especially because you seem to have created "Oprah Anonymous" just now. I guess we should all shout:
  
  "Hi, Crystal!!!"
