iJustine

So I am doing the twitter thing these days.  It is very entertaining.  Veronica Belmont (Qore and Teckzilla) posts the funniest stuff throughout the day.  (Like Star Wars Retold by someone who has never seen it).  I also follow Levar Burton of Star Trek and Reading Rainbow fame, he is comedy gold.  Now the name sake of this post is something I can only describe as an internet phenom.  iJustine (like iPod, or iTunes)  says she "is the internet, and the official unoffical spokesperson for apple)  She definately is the first half of that statement and possibily the second as well.  I had seen her being followed on twitter and decided to follow her as well.  I saw her live show on friday when she twittered that she was doing one and I was suprised.  

I admit I was a little skeptikal here you have a girl with cover model good looks, who has more views for her ordering a cheeseburger than most people can ever get for doing anything else on youtube.  So I watched a few vids while I was waiting for her live show, they were very funny, I laughed quite a few times at her turkey adventure for Thanksgiving. Her live show while not as humorous did definately highlight what kind of person she was.   She has a lot of fun being iJustine, and seemed to take care of her fanbase.  At one point she opened up to taking phone calls from people and her iPhone was so overwhelmed by the calls and voicemails that it shut off and had to be rebooted.   Instead of getting annoyed or calling it off she took a second and got it back going.  While she took these calls she answered every single one with a genuine enthusiasm that I would have never expected.  She seemed to go out of her way to keep some of the people talking and was very warm hearted.

So my hat off to you iJustine who actually has a personality that matches her outward appearance.  The world would be a better place with more people like that. = D  Her videos are very funny look her up on youtube.
