It’s always fun to learn more about the personalities of the Silicon Valley celebrities that we read about day to day. The Winklevoss twins may not be day-to-day news these days (though they certainly were at the peak of The Social Network’s buzz), but they do tweet a lot, and give spectators of the Twitterverse little tidbits about themselves that were not portrayed by the pissed off rowers portrayed by Armie Hammer in the film.
For example, did you know that Tyler Winklevoss is apparently a fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Hi latest tweet points to a video about the Turtles’ talking brain nemesis Krang:
The many voices of Krang http://t.co/OaLk6IFF #Haha #LaserProofGlassLoser
It is a pretty good video. Clearly he has good taste in cartoon villains.
Also, note the excellent use of the hashtags. Check out the rest of the conversation going on at #LaserProofGlassLoser:

This isn’t the first time we’ve noticed the the Winklevoss’ nack for exotic Twitter hashtags.
Then again, some people are trend setters rather than followers. The Winklevii might tell you, for example, they set the trend of social networking at Harvard.
Speaking of entertaining Ninja Turtles videos, if you’re a fan, you should probably check this one out.
