Neil | 165 comments He will start using Twitter when they change the logo from a blue bird to a black raven and only let you post bad news.

David Sven (gorro) | 1582 comments Twinter is coming. But seriously. Would you want a twitter account when you know you are going to be spammed with "stop tweeting and FINISH THE NEXT BOOK ALREADY!"

And as a reader, would you want to be reading his tweets rather than THE NEXT FRIGGIN BOOK!

I dunno, even for him, 140 characters seems like a lot. Jamie, Tyrion, Cersei, Sam, Jon, ... ;)

Tamahome | 7216 comments Since George R. R. Martin writes his novels in Wordstar 4.0 in MSDOS, I doubt he's going to use twitter any time soon.

By the way, check out @StephenKing. He makes recommendations.

I was gonna say something like this only mine was going to go:

He tweets at the same pace he writes his books which is why it feels like he never tweets.
