It's easy to assume the role of a celebrity on Twitter, but how do you know which ones REALLY have the true celebrity behind the name and which are fakes?
I have just persuaded an old friend, David Lawrence (portrays the eeeevil Eric Doyle on the hit TV show Heroes), to sign up for Twitter. So I can vouch for the validity of his account. You can follow him at twitter.com/dhlawrencexvii
Other verified celebrities include Dave Matthews,
As Twitter continues to grow, you can expect to see more celebrities connect with their fan base with social media.
Hi Joel, thanks for the recomendations. It is very tuff to know who is real in the WEB world.

Hi Joel
Thanks, as always, for your blog.
I do find that one critical element many overlook when they begin following hundreds of people is THEIR OWN CONTENT. Focus on building content - like we do - before you begin following others.
The thing that happens is this: when people see you follow them, they will (very probably) visit your own profile on Twitter, and if you only have 2 updates you run a high risk of never being seen - or followed...
When you have good content you ATTRACT new followers, and consequently you can build a higher follower base by focusing your attention to content.
Just my extra $0.02 on the matter. :-)
I also become addicted with this twitter. But I still learning how power is it compare with other socialable.
Oh what a tangled web we weave. It's getting very confusing on the web these days. Follow thoseyou trust as in everything else try to build a relationship
That's cool, didn't know he was on Twitter. They shouldn't of killed him off in heroes though, he had cool powers, and they made Sylar seem too strong, showing he couldn't be controlled by Eric...
Hi Joel-
I certainly agree with the trend regarding celebs using Twitter to reach out to the fan base. "6 degrees of Tweeteration," http://dwarfurl.com/d72bc
It is surprising that bigger stars like Brad Pitt don't join Twitter. He has such star power, he could end up having the most followers.
This would generate a lot of publicity for him.
Listened to your Twitter webinar this evening lots of good info thank you!

I agree that it is kinda hard to tell the fakes from the reals. But nevertheless, I guess that wouldn't really matter to most people. They just find it cool to have a "Name" within their circle. =]
