This one’s too good to pass up. Jennifer Aniston (from the comedy sitcom I grew up to, Friends) has reportedly dumped John Mayer, because of his Twitter addiction<\/a>. I quote:<\/p>\n

\nThe source said: “John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back.”<\/p>\n

The source added: “Jen was fuming. There he was, telling her he didn’t have time for her and yet his page was filled with Twitter updates.<\/p>\n

“Every few hours, sometimes minutes, he’d update with some stupid line. And in her mind, she was like ‘He has time for all this Twittering, but he can’t send me a text, an email, make a call?’.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Twitter, used as evidence that one actually has time, to at least send a text, email or make a call, it seems. Apparently, John Mayer even took the break up like a man, and sent a message to Twitterverse<\/a>: My six word story: “This heart didn’t come with instructions.”<\/i><\/b> Candid!<\/p>\n

From a quick take on his feed, it seems he uses Tweetie, TwitterBerry and the web a lot for updates. So not only is he addicted to his BlackBerry, he loves his iPhone\/iPod Touch, and apparently twitter.com. Maybe someone should introduce him to desktop clients like twhirl or TweetDeck? :-)<\/p>\n

On Twitter, there’s been some conversation about this, naturally. At first, I couldn’t believe<\/a> it, but it seems its possible. We know divorce via SMS or email is shunned upon, but in this part of the world, you can divorce someone just by saying “talak” three times. Its not clear<\/a> if its allowed in Malaysia or not (the BBC suggests<\/a> it was OK, but is unacceptable<\/a>).<\/p>\n

This stuff is almost as interesting as getting killed over your Facebook relationship status<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you know of people that got together because of Twitter or Facebook? Broke up because of Twitter or Facebook? I’m interested to know the stories behind them.<\/b><\/p>\n
