Twitter was launched in August 2006 and was co-founded by Jack Dorsey, Biz Stone and Evan Williams as a way to stay connected with friends. (I know I’ve always wanted to connect with friends in 140 characters or less!) I'm sure they could not have predicted that Celebrities would virtually take over Twitter and use it as a tool for their Narcissism. (Sorry I meant self promotion!) Hence this tweet from Charlie Sheen: "I am not only the book of Sheen-yuss but also the Book of Face.... yuss. go there now." UBetaPackInDaWordsCosUOnlyHave140characters! In case you didn't understand that you better learn to read sms! Grammar has gone OutDaWindow with Twitter, so it's perfect for Celebrities who can't spell! Twitter is a convienent platform for Celebrity culture, as so many members of the public are just dying to know something trivial about the day in the life of a Celebrity. Comedian Kathy Griffin (who loves to bag fellow Celebrities) tweeted: "Any Kath-eters actually at the Charlie Sheen show?? Details PLEASE!!! How long did he do? For reals, did he seem f-ed up?" Judging by the below photos from his touring show, would it have really strained Kathy's tweeting fingers to do a GOOGLE SEARCH?
To make sure you are following real Celebrities, a blue tick appears next to their name as a Verified Account.I'm pretty sure that the million or so followers would be a bit of a clue. #ButIsBeta2BSafedenSoz! Apparently if you type # in front of a word, it is called a hashtag and makes it a worthwhile topic. You should be able to find it in a Twitter search. If the hashtag word becomes popular, then it is known as a trending topic.
How many Celebrities does it take to promote another Celebrity? Don't even try and answer that question! Unless you have been living under a rock, the Royal Wedding is just weeks away and Snoop Dogg generously decided to write a song for the future Mr Catherine Middleton. You know, just because he could!
Singer Christina Aguilera (tweet pictured below) was "impressed" by Pop-Star Britney Spears' latest album release and just had to tweet to her! Note that she doesn't actually say she likes the album, just can't wait to see the next video! Ha Ha.

Below is the live reaction of Ashton Kutcher reaching One Million followers! A little over the top? No way! Not for a Celebrity! ( Hint: Watch up to 1:43 then fast forward to 9:47 to avoid the boring speech!)
Here is a site that has the Top ten celebrity twitter accounts some of them actually have personalities! (Some of them probably have multiple) To finish off this blog entry, I have found another website to track all of your celebrities on Twitter. IRONICALLY IT'S NOT TWITTER! On the right hand side there are lists of Celebrity names you can click on and it displays all of their Tweets! (Check out Bob Saget, Funny Guy!) So if you’ve got some free time on your hands, or interested in zoning out for a couple of hours, why not read tweets from that list and decide for yourself: Are they the “Twits” of Twitter?
