Barbara Walters Loses "Twitter Virginity"

Veteran journalist Barbara Walters became the latest public figure to get a Twitter account.

The View co-host announced on yesterday's show that she caved in to public pressure and curiosity. In recent weeks, Twitter has frequently been a "hot topic" on the show, with Babs admitting she knows hardly anything about it.

And based on her on-air tweeting, it seems she still doesn't.

Some Twitterers were happy to see that she joined while others were less than thrilled:
