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.
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:
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.
