Well, not really verbal but “straight Twit” or whatever those hip refer to Twitter as.

Mayer and Perez Hilton shared a heated exchange last night on Twitter that actually proved the talented musician might have some balls somewhere.

“From the heart,” Mayer twitted to Perez, “what you experienced these last 24 hrs is a profound lack of control. You can’t blog the world, my friend.”

The argument consisted of over a dozen back and forth posts that was worthy of a soap opra. Perez did his best to defend his honor but rather looked like the douche he is. Mayer did his best to suggest better ways Perez could have handled the situation with Will.I.Am.com, going as far as to cite rules of the Israeli martial art, Krav Maga.

Krav Maga? Of course, I should have known.

Here is a little taste via TMZ.com:

Mayer: Perez Hilton’s video statement is so long that by the end of it his cut healed.

Perez: That’s real funny! Ha ha! And I’m sure you also think I “deserved” to get hit!

Mayer: I also want to train you in an old martial art called “Never Call A Black Dude a F**got Jitsu.”

Perez: Dude, I get it. I GET IT. But it’s not f**king funny to me. Karma would be me losing my site and going bankrupt or what have u.

Mayer tops off the beef with calling the blogger a “dumb s**t.”

For those that just logged onto the internet yesterday, Twitter is a social networking site where users send and read posts known as tweets.  Tweets are little mini-blogs made up of 140 bytes of text.

140 bytes isn’t much, but in a world where people like Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson and Pete Wentz are famous, it’s often more than enough.

Twitter is quite popular and anyone who spends any amount of time on the internet is inundated with incessant Twitter talk. If that wasn’t bad enough, since it’s the latest internet phenomenon it has the main stream media hyperventilating and tripping all over themselves to cover everything “Twitter.”

Of course the media has the imagination of a gnat and half its intelligence.  They think that’s because Lance Armstrong, three days after having surgery to repair his broken collarbone tweets: “Got on the spin bike for half an hour today.” We all do it.

Or just because Ashton Kutcher sent the following tweet from the Miami airport: “Dealing with customs in Miami. I’m only going to speak to them in Spanish. This should be fun. Hola. como esta?” That everyone uses Twitter while traveling.

Everyone doesn’t, but gray areas are beyond the media’s comprehension.  They just report so you don’t have to decide.  That’s why the above two tweets weren’t just included into a news story, they were news!

That’s right, Twitter, and those using it, are starting to make news for Twittering.  Below are three news stories that aren’t days apart, but hours apart.

Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks was recently fined for negative tweets he made about NBA officiating: “how do they not call a tech on JR Smith for coming off the bench to taunt our player on the ground?”

Commissioner David Stern must be one of Cuban’s “followers,” because the NBA fined the Mavs owner $25,000.  What did Cuban do?  He responded to the fine on his Twitter account: “can’t say no one makes money from twitter now. the nba does:”

There’s a rumor going around that Jennifer Aniston dumped John Mayer because of his obsession with Twitter.  It’s doubtful, not even celebrities are that superficial.  Then again, maybe they are.  Here’s what Mayer had to say about his debilitating Twitter habit:

“I’m just goofing off, it’s silly. Isn’t it silly? Twitter is fun, but I’m gonna get off as soon it becomes like ‘Skippy Peanut Butter Presents Twitter.’ But for right now it feels sort of underground…”

Could you sound like a bigger douche bag, John?  What you said about Twitter is like saying “I don’t watch mainstream films” or “I only listen to independent bands.”   Besides is there anyone more “overground” than John Mayer?

In other twitter news, Courtney Love is being sued for libel by her former fashion designer, Dawn Simorangkir.  The libel stems from Love’s “obsessive and delusional crusade” on Twitter.

Apparently, Love posted a number of tweets that accused Simorangkir of being a “nasty, lying, hosebag thief,” and having a “history of dealing cocaine.”

Is this onslaught of Twitter related stories a portends of things to come or just a coincidence?  Will the nightly news have a Twitter segment like they have a sports segment?  Probably not, the hype will die down and the next “big thing” will take its place.

In the meantime, as Twitter oscillates between being barely tolerable to completely obnoxious we can revel in one thing: it’s another great mechanism for celebrities to publicly embarrass themselves.

Unfortunately, that last sentiment is too long to post as a tweet.
