John Mayer has closed his Twitter account. According to the AP, a spokesperson for the singer-guitarist and enthusiastic multi-media communicator said that he had quit because his Battle Studies Tour is “now at a close and a return to the studio planned.” More than 3.7m people followed Mayer on the social networking site.
Personally, I’m untroubled by this news. Mayer will apparently continue to communicate with fans via his blog and, in truth, he seems more suited to a wordier format, as he recently demonstrated with his lengthy, and fairly hilarious, attack on the Huffington Post. Also, as wise person once said: “Today’s Twitter quitter, might be tomorrow’s Twitter un-quitter.” I think that was Aristotle. Or maybe Amanda Bynes.
What do you think about Twitter’s latest quitter?

Yup, John finally realized that the only people that Tweet are twits…
tweeting’s over.
Tweeting was never really under for most of us. What’s the point when you can do so much more on Facebook?
Ew – do NOT link to Perez Hilton’s site! I don’t want to give that man any more hits.
Word.
I get this is Entertainment Weekly and all but seriously…is it really news that someone quits twitter? Every time someone deletes their account will EW be all over it?
who communicates that they closed their twitter account. I can’t stand him
plushpuppy he did not announce it and why did you click on a story like this if you don’t like John Mayer
Only twits use twitter.
That was clever the first twelve million times. How about something a little less stale, huh?
Seriously? This is f-ing news? He didn’t rob a bank and go down in a hail of gunfire, he closed his freaking Twitter account. Jesus.
Really slow news day is it?
I hope this is a sign of the ultimate demise of this idiotic trend of “micro blogging” that celebrated the butchering of proper grammar, spelling, language and actual communication.
Looks like he changed his mind. “jhnmyr” is now taken on Twitter.
Fake?
Maybe he’s growing up…now, if only I could…
ok…i like how this news haha
Only twits attack those who Tweet. There’s absolutely NOTHING wrong with being on Twitter because chances are, you won’t get it anyway.
So his spokesperson sent out a media release saying that he’s closing his account? *smh*
