49 US Celebrities on Twitter
Twitter is the new phenomenon in social networking and the celebrities are definitely enjoying their direct dose of public adornment. Twitter has become a force to be reckoned with in our society because of the immediate response systems and the access to millions just 140 characters away. People are using Twitter more and more to mobilize people for their cause, if you have a lot of followers that translates into a lot of power without the traditional interference of media outlets and publicists.
There are as many celebrity Twitter lovers as there are haters as some celebrities are not comfortable being so up close with their fan base. To that end you will not probably see celebrities like Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie joining the ranks of the twitter-philes. Here we have complied a list of 49 US celebs that have the most followers on their Twitter accounts along with an idea of what they like to tweet about, so you can join in the crowds… or not.
