Excellent blog you have here. So many blogs like this cover
subjects that aren’t found in magazines. I don’t know how we got by 20 years
ago with just newspapers and magazines.

First, the dialogue is healthy so thank you for disagreeing and taking the time to post. We think that the benefits of Twitter are magnified by using it for 2 way communication - otherwise it's just a microblog. If anyone with 10K followers or more can't find 10% of them interesting, then use Facebook. Twitter is awesome because it's open, or transparent, which Facebook is not.

We suggest if someone takes the time to tweet to you, at least follow them (unless it's completely worthless.) If they are really funny or insightful, tweet back. Otherwise, it's not really a participatory medium and then...why Twitter and not Myspace or blog.

Thanks Missy, and I don't want to sound like I'm railing on celebs - I couldn't respond to 300 thousand @replies. I just believe now that there is this huge rush of people to Twitter, they need to be thinking about it as a 2 way medium. Just think, using Twitter we could go from 6 degrees of separation to 3 or 4. :)

Great post. You got me curious about the other celebs I follow and how many people they follow. The big winner is MC Hammer, with 242,116 followers and following 25,561. Go Hammer, Go Hammer...Will Wheaton is 253,546 to 97, Soliel Moom Frye is 29,754 to 23, ABCDude (cant remember his real name) is 3,070 to 62, but I give him a break cause he is kinda new and I like his video clips. Brent Spiner is the biggest slacker with 71,914 followers and he follows back, ready for this.. 4 people. Yep 4!! Oh Data, I am dissapointed. Levar Burton has 149,471 and follows 78. The best ratio I can find is my favorite funny lady, Paula Poundstone has a following of 6,382 and follows 5,954. So it seems that with few exceptions the poor celebs of the world are missing out on all the fun us normal people get to have. I also enjoy their postings and try to keep up with them. If any of my celeb crushes ever show up on Twitter at all, much less write back to me, I too will be a puddle of mush, so enjoy your man crush and drop sexy John a note. :)
