Shaq passes GigaOM on Twitter, still behind Obama, Kevin Rose

What incentive does Shaq have to whore himself on Twitter?

He's already accomplished so much in his basketball career, made plenty of money and even got to sample music/movies.

Is he one of those "never enough" guys, or does he simply like to hear/see himself talk?

My money is on the latter given his freestyle antics as of late.

/disclaimer: took Kobe's side in the feud, I think the media is in love with big Shaq and overlook his many warts.

Maybe he uses it for the same reason everyone else does? For fun and socializing? From what I've seen, Shaq is a pretty gregarious fellow.

Yeah. Look at his posts: he's having fun on this thing.

i think if he just wanted to hear himself talk, he'd either not follow anyone, or follow everyone that follows him and just ignore their updates.
