The new U2 album isn’t selling any copies, so the band has decided to join Twitter in a desperate attempt to appeal to a younger demographic. The U2_360Tour feed thankfully doesn’t contain any text from the band. Instead, it’s full of photos taken on their current tour, which are mostly intimate, out-of-focus shots of the band members and their surroundings.
A red carpet theme runs through the set, serving to demonstrate just how important Bono and the boys really are. Other photos are incredibly dull and somewhat baffling—did we really need to see this picture from a car window? Twitter user U2girl1 appears to think so: “Love You Guys!” is her baffling tweet in response to the shot.
Hopefully the Twitter feed will become less mundane at the tour progresses. But for anyone wanting to look at a plate of food that Bono may or may not have eaten, or some jewelry that might be worn by the Edge, U2_360Tour is a treasure trove of photographic goodness.

New Album not selling any copies?? Have you checked the top selling albums worldwide for 2009? You may want to do your homework first. Funny the Tour is selling out too. Doesn't sound like they are hurting too much. Pointless.....
