Who is on Twitter…?
There are tons of famous people on Twitter, from Movie Stars, TV Presenters, to Author and even the President Barack Obama…
Like President Barack Obama have been using twitter in his election campaign to keep his voters or supporters updated of his upcoming plans for United States of America. Stephen Fry and the rest of the rich, popular and famous people are also using twitter to either update their fans or supporters about their latest news or productions or records or etc. Twitter making it easier for this people as they always do not have enough time to post regularly on BLOGs like WordPress. But using mobile devices to update a 140 words of what they are doing now or updates, is a much more simpler way. And thats the way of Micro-Blogging, using Twitter.

“President Barack Obama’s online presence drove his campaign’s early fund-raising and his primary victory over Hillary Rodham Clinton. His campaign’s use of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube proved that he was part of the Web 2.0 generation. In the run-up to November’s election, Senator Obama — or one of his staff members — typed more than 250 updates to his Twitter account at twitter.com/barackobama.”

Previously I have posted that big companies have twitter too, now is all the famous people following up the Web 2.0 generation to increase their fame, and even helping them to publicize themselves (instead of using magazines). Basically everyone is evolving to adapt to the new generation.
