Twitter has been a new social networking site. It’s been put online since 2006, so it’s only been on the internet for 4 years. Ever since the site first came on, the twitter site was immediately taken over by the rich & famous. Everyone from actors, music stars, famous bands, TV channels, sports athletes, etc. So you wonder why it is popular with celebrities??? Well like I once said about twitter before, a lot of celebs find it a great opportunity to interact with their fans online personally. Why are celebs in twitter personally responding back to fans? Because the site is quicker and easier to use for them. Obviously, celebrities don’t have time to reply to fan mail, so they use twitter to talk to fans instead.

 Some celebs however, don’t even use the site to talk to fans because they think they are too famous for that. They use the site to announce news on twitter mostly because it’s a quicker way to exclusively announce news instead of wasting a lot of time announcing on myspace or their official website. A lot of them are there to promote their careers, talk to people or announce news. Celebs in twitter is no fake ’cause the “verified” accounts is proof that it is their account, plus other ways to tell it’s their real page is they post twitpics proving it’s them.

Twitter can also be useful for non-famous people like myself. I just go there to read other celeb pages and just post there for my fun and my own amusement. Yep, twitter is no joke people. Celebs there do READ EVERYTHING that’s sent to them. I’ve had a few celeb replies and I have a few celebs following me (Tom Cruise and Arnie Schwarzenegger). Celebs will respond to you if it’s flattering to them or if they find your post worth replying to. It’s very rare you’ll get a reply but they do reply when they can.

Twitter is a nice site. It’s more fun than facebook and myspace, in my opinion.
