We gratuitously mocked Times columnist Nick Kristof's Twitter feed last week. But the truth is that he's in good company. Lots of big-shot media people—including many Gawker "favorites"!—have Twitters, despite the fact that Twitter is proven to destroy journalism. We haven't been paying enough attention to their various tweets about this and that. After the jump, we condense the offering of five famous media twits into bite-sized packages:

Julia Allison, fameball extraordinaire
 Dominant themes: Sex, famous people, faux-exhaustion




Laurel Touby, founder of Mediabistro
 Dominant themes: Uninteresting media minutiae, uninteresting life minutiae




John Dickerson, Slate political writer
 Dominant themes: His kids, pithy self-deprecation, Twitter itself




Jennifer 8 Lee, NYT trend specialist
 Dominant themes: Food




Bonnie Fuller, former US Weekly editor, currently only vaguely employed
Dominant theme: Sad, Jackie Harvey-like simulacrum of the editorial content of an actual celebrity magazine
