Identity and Social Media

Aziz Ansari has quite the Twitter fan base at just over 3 million followers. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who hasn't at least heard of Aziz, due to his many stand up specials and role on the television show "Parks and Recreation." Looking over Aziz's timeline, the majority of the tweets you'll see are just witty remarks and jokes. Many of them had some sort of relevance when they were posted, such as his live tweeting of TV shows, while others are just completely random. Occasionally, he'll tweet something to do with self-promotion, like when he has a new special, TV show, etc. out. He's not like many other comedians on Twitter in that he keeps his feed, for the most part, clean. He's extremely funny and entertaining on Twitter, which can only help build upon his already impressive fan base.
