Jon — Kate + me (and 18,000 others)

And this is Twitter is the most amazing thing on the face of the planet:

Just moments ago, I became a Twitter follower of Jon Gosselin — yes, the oft-maligned father of eight and soon to be ex-husband of Kate is now updating the world on his comings and goings! Jon's hosting a pool party in Las Vegas? Now I'll know about it. He's in Newburgh, hanging out with the Teutels of "American Chopper" fame? I'll read all about it first. Which cheesy Ed Hardy T-shirt is Jon wearing today? I'll know before anyone else. Ah, technology! Ain't it great?! My only regret: More than 18,000 Twitter users beat me to it and became a follower of Jon's before me (though I did sign up as soon as I learned he had set up his Twitter page.

I've always been a member of Team Jon (see poll at right), even before he and Kate separated earlier this summer. To see the way Kate would bicker at him, you couldn't help but feel sorry for the guy.

Sure, Jon's made some questionable decisions since separating from Kate (including his 22-year-old "girlfriend"), but he really seems like a better parent than his wife. Just look at this tweet: goodies from the Sugar Factory ... what kid wouldn't want that?!

Now, whatever happens to Jon post-Kate, his Twitter followers like me will be the first to hear about it!
