I Want Celebrity Twitter

March 17th, 2007

Lots of complaints regarding the banality of Twittering, namely the pointlessness of “I’m eating a spinach and arugula salad”. But I think this could have a whole new twist and vault Twitter to yet another insane level of popularity if we get some serious “celebrity Twitters”.

Right now I’m following a few techno-celebrities on Twitter, and for some odd reason, I find it amusing to read that Jason Calacanis was at a Laker’s game last night and is now getting a barbecue installed. Simply because, I don’t have those luxuries.

    Hi Steffen, cool, there’s always room for more. I think the first movie star celebrity to join will easily get thousands of Twitter followers.

    Thanks for visiting and commenting!
