Berkeley all a-Twitter over Ellen DeGeneres tweet
The Twitterstream is buzzing about Ellen DeGeneres being in Berkeley. Tomorrow? Soon? Who knows? It all started around 6:41 p.m. this evening with this tweet from TheEllenShow:
Are you in Berkeley, California? Are you near Berkeley? Can you get to Berkeley by tomorrow? Then keep following my Tweets.
No other explanation. But the Twitterstream quickly lit up like a Christmas tree with retweets and responses from all over the world, some excited, some dejected because they can’t make it to Berkeley. Even Oakland-based Ask.com has offered their assistance, tweeting:
The Ask.com office is near Berkeley! We’ll rally the office if need be!
If anyone out there know more than this, let us know. In the meantime, we’ll be following her tweets.
UPDATE: At 11:30 this morning (Wednesday), TheEllenShow tweeted:
Tweet to UC Berkeley: Students, faculty, honored guests, keep studying my Tweets. There’s gonna be a test today.

The Ellen DeGeneres camera came to the UC Campus today, filming the student reaction to the recent declaration of a budget crisis and student fee increases. Tomorrow is the protest walk-out, and Ellen is rumored to be coming to show her support.
