celebrity Twitter

Twitter works best when you’re able to build up a collective of people you can identify and converse with, not when it’s filled up with just about everyone of interest.

The Guardian published a list of celebrities and politicians using Twitter. There are a couple of surprise names in there, but out of the ones that I’d have been interested in, here’s why I’m not interested:

• Barack Obama - what would “the most powerful man in the world” want to @ me or anyone about?



• David Mitchell - disappointed not to see a single conversation: just broadcast messages


• Jimmy Carr - not really a Twitter stream, just an aggregation of Facebook status updates

When I follow someone like Stephen Fry it’s because I see him conversing with everyone else and feel able to put a question to him. He might not always reply, but he always followed. And bless him for that.

Twitter is a set of interconnected conversations. If you’re not replying, you’re not engaging.

Bie, that's my name. The Celebrity A to Z News is a brutally honest look at society and its obsession with the super. It is not satire. It is not social commentary. It is the voice of our society at its worst. It is first impressions without sense of social obligation. It is the truth of our generation. It is ugly racism. It is jealousy. It is honest. Just kidding. Our goal is to make fun of as many people as possible.
