Twitter makes its commercial debut thanks to Sprint

Twitter continues to expand into the mainstream. It’s already being used by a number of celebrities, it’s all over news channels and its founders have even started making the rounds on various television shows like The Colbert Report. Now, Sprint has released a commercial, running across the country, that features the service — and also pokes a little fun at it. From The New York Times.

“233,000 people just Twittered on Twitter,” Sprint says before continuing, “26 percent of you viewing this have no idea what that means.” You can probably expect that 26 percent number to shrink as the commercial continues to air and people Google Twitter.
