Poughkeepsie | Snooki's time: 300K Twitter fans

"Me, I like the pouf. I'm still going to rock it."

-- Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 22, of Marlboro, N.Y., near Poughkeepsie, speaking to The New York Times about her famous hairdo, in "Snooki's time,'' a feature-length profile today about the break-out star of MTV's Jersey Shore. Polizzi has more than 300,000 followers on Twitter and is launching a haircare line. The reality TV series was last season's highest-rated cable show among young adults, the NYT says.

    Unfortunately, no one has taken up my idea for a reality TV show based on Furlough House Swap, the website designed by a group of Gannett employees.

    Jersey Shore is such a insult to "native" Jerseyans. Those "kids" on the show are all from New York. And this year the show is in Florida! Weird!

    Am I the only one who finds it astonishing that the Poughkeepsie Journal has had a year to do a display feature on Snooki and hasn't and a year after the show debuted was scooped by the NY Times on its own hometown girl?
