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.

There’s something amusing about how banal information when coming from a friend is just - banal - but suddenly has significance when from someone “famous”. It’s like, wow, Parker Posey ate a spinach and arugula salad???!!?!?!? It’s the reputation and image in one’s mind that makes any bit of detritus significant.

So right now, as far as celebrity twitters, we have:

• John Edwards
• Cali Lewis
• Robert Scoble
• Leo Laporte
• Dave Winer
• Amber Macarthur
• Janina Gavankar

And some fake celebrities:

• Bill Clinton
• Steve Jobs
• Borat
• Darth Vader
• George Bush
• Paris Hilton
• Bill Gates
• Luke Skywalker
• Indiana Jones
• Condi Rice
  
• Pee Wee Herman
  
• Lord God Almighty

You can get much more updated info on the Twitter Fan Wiki (here’s their fake celebrity page) so you can start Twitter-celeb-stalking. Plus, I now know that Twitter has a fondness for cats.

Disclosure: The above reference to “Paris” could be Paris the city, Paris Gellar from Gilmore Girls, ParisLemon the blogger, or Paris Hilton. I have no financial relationship with any of them.
