    The Twitterati Feel Awkward, Innocuous, and Sad

    Did you know Arianna Huffington's godson is so afraid of Gawker, he can't say its name aloud on Twitter? Or that Ruth Reichl can be bought? The things one learns from the media's Twitter addicts:

    Huffington Post legacy hire Matthew Palevsky defended uniformly innocuous Timesman Sewell Chan's Twitter honor.

    Nation correspondent Ari Melber captured the sad sadness of a sad politican's sad press conference.

    Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl felt the consequences of auctioning herself off to the highest bidder.

    Chicago Tribune leisureblogger Bill Daley became the guy who complains about the copier.

    Fox DC anchor Brian Bolter felt a false sense of relief.

    Did you witness the media elite tweet something indiscreet? Please email us your favorite tweets — or send us more Twitter usernames.
