Hyderabad:Actor Mahesh Babu appears to have mastered the art of ‘thumb-typing' on the blackberry tweeting his feelings regularly nowadays.

“Yes. I prefer Twitter to browsing the net. I tweet in the afternoon and evenings, mostly post film shooting or while travelling. I enjoy tweeting more than browsing the net,” said the heartthrob of Telugu film industry here on Monday.

Mahesh Babu, the brand ambassador of UniverCell also disclosed that he had recently begun using a Black Berry Bold II mobile phone. “I am not crazy for gadgets but prefer mobiles that come with many features. I do change my mobile phones very often,” he said

He was interacting with mediapersons on the sidelines of UniverCell ‘Meet Mahesh Babu' contest winners programme here on Monday.

It was dream come true for 200-odd customers of UniverCell, who got to meet the actor. More importantly for Swetha, a contest winner who was celebrating her birthday today, the event was even more special as she was greeted by her favourite actor.

The contest was launched on Diwali last year to provide an opportunity to the customers to interact with Mahesh Babu. The 200 customers were picked through a lucky draw, said UniverCell founder Sathish Babu.
