Twitter Celebs
From musicians to political pundits; from pro athletes to rap stars, Twitter has become “the” place to be on the internet social scene for the rich, famous, and glamorous. After a struggle with celeb impersonators, in June of 2009 Twitter introduced the verified account, meaning celebrities could provide proof that they are, indeed, the authentic real deal and receive a button that displays on their Twitter page, although it doesn’t verify who actually writes the Tweets.
I follow Alyssa Milano on Twitter because her Tweets do not focus solely on herself, but also the pulse of the social media community. She often tweets about charity projects and has a tendency to retweet ‘everyday users’ that provide value.
How does following celebrities benefit the normal Twitter user? Well, if you are involved in a particular industry, it’s a good way to keep your finger on the pulse of what’s going on. For instance, if you’re a writer, following on Twitter the publishing stars such as agents, editors, or famous writers in the genre in which you work can give you invaluable insight into where the market is going, what issues are concerning the upper echelon, and give you an idea of where you can concentrate your own efforts.
Following the industry leaders on Twitter and becoming familiar with how they think and how they work can give a competitive edge to those paying attention. You may get first crack at a new product, an innovative idea, or valuable information and tips that help you in your own business.
Interested in politics? Follow some of the better-known pundits and learn, through Twitter, about the upcoming battles on the political front. From the Tweets of your favorite sports star, you can learn about planned appearances or how they prepare for the big game. You favorite director on Twitter could let something really revealing slip about his newest project.
Let’s face it – we’re all fans of something or someone, whether it’s sports, music, or movies. Following celebrities on Twitter allows unprecedented access to the life and thoughts of people whom we admire. You can follow on Twitter the latest information on breaking news in the lives of your favorite star, movie director, or musician. Find out when the next tour starts, who’s having a baby, and who’s feuding.
We live in the Information Age, and we’re all hungry for more. Although following your favorite celebrity on Twitter might be more of a distraction than a benefit, there’s nothing wrong with a little entertainment and the opportunity to getting to know your favorite celebrity on Twitter just a little bit better. The bottom line seems to be they are people too, and they have interesting, entertaining, and sometimes informative things to say.
Twitter is an equal opportunity communication outlet for all. It’s like being at a big dinner party, with thousands of different people with whom you can interact and learn about all kinds of subject. Celebrities on Twitter have just as much to offer as other people, and it never hurts to be thoroughly entertained by that. However, keeping an eye on whatever trend in which you’re interested can have more than just entertainment value.

Great tips, I am glad to see that some of the ‘celebs’ out there are not only concerned w/ themselves.
Another great post, I would also like to mention how important it is to not be too bummed when celebs don’t tweet you back.
Good Point
I enjoyed reading this perspective, I feel that twitter celebs differ from tv celebs as well but I digress. I followed lady gaga for a while and was a bit weirded out by her normenclature.
This is a good share. Thank you!
We absolutely really like Lady Gaga, so adorable. We have yet to see her in concert. Hopefully soon.
Thanks to your post I do not seem like an idiot. I had an argument with someone and this proves I was right. Thanks!
it is great.
