With all of this talk about ABC’s The Bachelorette returning next Monday — entertain us, Emily Maynard! — it occurred to me that I hadn’t posted one of my latest stories, for the L.A. Times: “Twitter Friends: It May Be a Good Idea to Meet Up.” Check out that adorable illustration!

The story was inspired by two of my favorite things: The Bachelor and social media — specifically, live-tweeting The Bachelor and the camaraderie that viewers (including me!) enjoy by following each others’ tweets about the show. I highly recommend joining in!

If you’re a fan of reality TV or snarky commentary about American absurdities, follow me at @jamiebeckman, especially on Monday nights at  8 p.m. EST. Hope you like the story!
