Everybody Does It: Kevin Rose’s Cold Twitters
November 13, 2008
So Kevin Rose has a cold, and his cold has a Twitter account. With 811 followers. Brilliant PR stunt or just plain silly, what do you guys think? Personally this is one thing I’m staying out of. I don’t like colds.

He used to be a hotshot in the gaming industry in Sweden, but sold everything and went International. Most recently he wrote a book called Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog, and does loads of kickass design.
Trouble is, it’s hard to say whether Kevin ‘scolds’ or has a cold but the visual imagery of a twitter sneeze and viral infectiousness the almost poetic twitters of Kevin Roses Nose has obviously captured 817 people’s imaginations so good on Kevin for tapping in it
I don’t like colds.
I wouldn’t want to be caught catching that cold! This move is like a big joke to me. So, lets all be reminded that if it was anyone else’s cold, no one would follow but since its Kevin Rose… well.
