A tweet from @AlexTallitsch has the Twitter world -- or at least part of it -- in a tizzy.

According to his personal friend/pilot, Mr. Brett Favre will be on Twitter shortly.

Tallitsch was formerly an NFL/Packers analyst for the digital magazine Cheesehead TV and, according to his Linkedin page, currently works in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area in public relations.

Whether Favre will really join the 140-character frenzy -- with all the photo uploading possibilities and responsibilities that come with it -- remains to be seen. And whether he could actually contain his thoughts about himself to such a short space would be another thing to watch.
