MTV Names Its First Twitter Jockey

(CBS/ AP)  MTV has named 23-year-old Gabi Gregg its first "Twitter Jockey."

Gregg won the position Sunday night after a nationwide vote.

The TJ position is the updated version of the network's VJ job, and Gregg will report on pop culture news using Twitter, Facebook, blogs and MTV's website.

"I cannot express my gratitude in 140 characters," Gregg tweeted Sunday. "I love all of you so much."

Gregg graduated from Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts in 2008, where she studied international relations and African-American studies. Gregg is the founder of the fashion blog Young, Fat and Fabulous.

She was raised in Detroit and lives in Chicago.

"My main goal is to really connect with the audience," she told MTV. "I don't want to be the same as the MTV Twitter; I want to keep it personable and keep in touch with the followers. I want to give them a voice."
