On my old blog, I did a very quick post about my participation on the social networking site, Twitter, but I think it has definitely blown up since then and needs further attention. đŸ˜‰
I’m a huge fan of social networking (obviously) and Twitter has drastically morphed since the first day I joined a couple of years ago (I deleted my account because literally no one I knew was on it). I rejoined last year and have loved watching it become the mecca of information and interaction that it is today.
One of my favorite aspects? The influx of celebrities that have taken over Twitter and realized its potential to further connect them to their fans. There is something about reading “I just pooped” coming from one of your favorite musicians to make you realize that yes, we are all human.
One of my favorite shows, Heroes, has definitely taken it to the next level. Cast member and general mind-reader extraordinaire, Greg Grunberg, heads up this band of merry Twits often updating with pictures from the set, ranch-loving tales or the random YOWZA! His cohorts include other cast members, makeup artists, writers and prop masters just to name a few. Thanks to the constant tweets, the show has been able to get direct feedback after each episode from its legions of fans. The best part? They interact right back with you! It’s a great time to be a fan, people. Even the LA Times agree.
Are you curious as to which famous faces I follow? Wonder no longer.
