Would they?

So as I tentatively test the concept of Twitter, and knowing full well that by some standards I am about 100 years behind times, I thought I would explore what modern day concepts some of my classical literary heroes might have observed.

And since I must begin with the bard-

William Shakespeare -  Youtube

Edgar Allen Poe -  Blogger

Lord Byron - Twitter

John Milton - Satellite radio program

Charles Dickens - Cell phone novels

Jane Austen - Kindle

Mary Shelley - Fan fiction sites

Alexander Dumas - Gamer

Fyodor Dostoevsky - Independent press - pay as you go and in his case I hope it's not by word

Ernest Hemingway - Online columnist (secretly in league with Man vs. Wild and Rick Steve's)

Sorry the list is not much longer but I was trying to limit myself to one author per electronic publishing format.  I would love to hear about anyone you would like to add to this list.
