Whither Rick Sanchez (on Twitter)?

He’s Back?

We’re trying to get to the bottom of a developing story here at Area 224 HQ. Much has been made of Rick Sanchez and his hasty departure from CNN; rather than discuss what was said, what was meant, or whether or not Jon Stewart is cool, we’d rather look at Rick’s Twitter Page.

First reported by @MediaAlert on 10/8, Rick, who used to be on Twitter as @RickSanchezCNN, is now just @RicksBook.

But here’s the question: if it is really him, how can he go from using CNN’s reach to amass scores of followers to being just another guy on Twitter with tiny numbers?

Odds are, he’ll figure it out.

NOTE: Rick does actually talk rather candidly about how he messed up in this Washington Post discussion from Monday, October 11.
