Kanye West Joins Twitter

With the release of a new album approaching, Kanye West is making sure he’s up to date with the social networking sites.

He joined Twitter on Wednesday, one day after going to the offices of Facebook, in Palo Alto, Calif., to preview some of his new material. He already has over 220,000 followers but he himself is not following anyone.

Videos of him rapping a cappella while standing on a conference table have been posted on YouTube. On his website afterward, West posted a letter to Facebook, thanking the staff for their support: “Your energy was a gift so electric, so genuine, that it really helped me give my best.”

The “Love Lockdown” star has already disseminated new information on his upcoming projects via the service. West tweeted that his upcoming fifth studio album is no longer called “Good A–Job” and that he’s “bouncing a couple titles around now.” West’s new as-of-yet untitled album is expected to be released Sept. 14.
