If you don’t keep your social networks attached to your hip or check them every minute of your life then you may not know that Kanye West has joined twitter. Perhaps his dalliance in the Facebook offices have convinced him to up his social networking ante or maybe he’s decided to give social networks outside of his blog a chance.

Either way, we’re glad to see him participating in the world of social networking. Kanye sent out his first tweet an hour ago which sent Tweeps into a frenzy. About 30 minutes into the Kanye West twitter experience there was a tweet from Def Jam Records letting everyone know that @KanyeWest was indeed Kanye’s twitter account. Since then, it’s been verified by Twitter and gained over 9,000 followers. At the time of this posting, he only had two tweets to share with the world.
