It may actually be to your benefit to follow less people as you can engage in conversation more. <br /><br />I think it would interesting to interview some of the celebrities about the reasons they use facebook and see what they have to say about lack of communication swith their followers, whether they think it is an issue or not.hfarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924885222742174789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291707859231930866.post-50421551049019204482010-04-08T12:44:22.516-07:002010-04-08T12:44:22.516-07:00I don't know if I find anything wrong with hav...I don't know if I find anything wrong with having few followers than you are following...I think that just means you are a person of influence, and good on you. <br /><br />I think the problem is what the celebrities are tweeting. It's mostly useless information about what they had for breakfast. I, like Brian have taken all mine off since joining twitter, because of their general uselessness.<br /><br />The content of the tweets is what I feel undermines the function of the tool itself.Natalie McWhirterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005425711412603087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291707859231930866.post-68388880051132942242010-04-07T20:16:42.552-07:002010-04-07T20:16:42.552-07:00I`ve unfollowed almost all of my celebrities on tw...I`ve unfollowed almost all of my celebrities on twitter. I found that did nothing but clutter my feed with useless tweets.<br /><br />I`m also curious about the comment that Casey made above- who tweets really?<br /><br />I recently tweeted Charlotte Gainsbourg when she announced her North American tour. She had canceled her performance in Toronto in January, and I wanted to know if she was coming back. Simple question that only needed a yes or no. Still haven`t got an answer! Other tweets to people like Metric, diablo cody and ani difranco (who follows no one) also went unanswered, even no simple `Thanks!`<br /><br />I think that lack of response on the majority of celebrities shows the disconnect they have with their fans. They want to promote things to them, but don`t necessarily want to actually engage with them or create a two-way dialogue. In my opinion, that hurts them more than not being on Twitter.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10888804605797706665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291707859231930866.post-72786509731806116702010-03-22T13:22:09.492-07:002010-03-22T13:22:09.492-07:00I think this is a really interesting post and I li...I think this is a really interesting post and I like the angle you took towards celebrity tweeters. Do you think so-called celebrity tweets ALWAYS come from the celebrity themselves? Or do they come from their publicist? Is it misleading to the public if it is not from the celebrity, or is it to be expected?Casey Mundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12992336244774287583noreply@blogger.com
