A List of Surprising Users of Twitter
There is this wonderful little invention called Twitter that is currently growing in popularity. At first it sounds fairly dreary, but it’s basically a way of broadcasting exactly what you are doing at any given moment. If you’re familiar with Facebook it’s basically the same as updating your status. You can update your status via SMS, email, online or IM. It’s very easy, which is obviously one of it’s greatest selling points. You can follow people’s tweets and therefore stay abreast of what they are up to. It seems to completely divide people right now, people either love it or loathe it. Marketers might consider it a form of eCRM that can work like email or RSS. Normal people use it as a way of staying in touch with their mates.
Apparently, a quantum leap in the growth of the micro-blogging platform came about because of mass Tweeting at SXSW.
Just as an indication of how close to the tipping point Twitter is, here some a list of surprising Twitter users.
