My wife is a huge fan of the Oscars, and I am a tech and autism blogger, so I was intrigued by the tweet that Ellen Degeneres did at the Oscars 2014, that crashed twitter. I wish our tech and autism news efforts were that popular.
I was intrigued by the whole pizza thing, and found it to be funny, different and compelling. My wife and I are fans of Ellen Degeneres and have been for many years. I would love to go on her show to talk about life with autism.
The following is an interesting but brief piece on the whole situation–>
UPDATE, 8:00 PM: In less than an hour Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres beat President Obama‘s Twitter record for Twitter retweets. Ellen’s on-the-fly pic with Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Kevin Spacey, and more is racking up the Twitter love with over 1M RTs and over 720K favorites and counting.
PREVIOUS, 7:30 PM: Twitter crashed for a brief time Sunday night — shortly after Ellen DeGeneres piled a dozen Oscar nominees and attendees into one selfie during the Oscars telecast in an attempt to break the record for most re-tweets. Even the Academy apologized for contributing to the Twitter traffic jam. Coincidence?
