Anger
The first and foremost responses came out of anger.
Numerous critics of Simpson chimed in with a chorus of thoughts alleging that he was guilty in his infamous murder trial.
Othere were just critical of his over all attitude and criminal record.
"He'll never change," one Twitter user wrote. "He will do something again.
Disbelief
Another widespread reaction has sheer disbelief.
Simpson has been imprisoned for nearly a decade, and there were rumors last week that his release would be held up.
Many who saw the 33-year sentence as the punishment for the 1994 murders were shocked he was actually a free man once again.
Jokes
As with any major event, there were jokes to be told.
The witty reactions ranged from plays on the "Juice is Loose" quote to clowning Simpson for his release outfit, an all-denim ensemble.
Some even took some sarcastic digs at how Simpson could now go back to looking for Brown's real killer.
What's Next?
The conversation also took a natural turn to what's in store of the former NFL running back's future.
Speculation of media interviews, event appearances and long days of golf were all put on the table.
However, one future prospect has received better than all the others: Simpson getting a Twitter account.
