Oh my…Britney! You? Using Twitter??
<p style=”text-align: center;”><a href=”http://twitter.com/therealbritney”><br><br><img style=”border: 0px;” title=”Britney Twitter” src=”http://www.webcertain.com/uptest/upload//Webcertain-PR/twitter-britmey.jpg” alt=”" width=”560″ height=”30″ /></a></p>
This may be not that exciting news but our dear singer friend Britney Spears seemed to have joined the world of Twitter.
Some argue that Britney’s presence on the network means the beginning of the popular miroblogging site going mainstream. However, there are no doubts that HER people have launched both a Twitter account and a bloggy sort of site with constant updates on her fascinating life to avidly promote the “noisy” singer.
The blog doesn’t appear to be “Britney” and Britney’s Twitter stream appears to be deeply monitored by her PR team, and so strongly appears less genuine.
Wouldn’t be fun if Britney were actually twittering? Oh yes I guess, exchanging advice on hairdressers, being “tired and emotional” on stage…but I won’t wait for that day to come.
Firstly, I am sure there are a lot of us who will agree that Twitter isn’t the easiest thing to understand entirely at first – follow me it is just cool! Secondly, celebrities are an easy target for malicious gossip online – so why put themselves in the firing line by being “online” in this way? Conclusion: celebrities should avoid being there really. And finally, let’s be fair, if the real Britney was twittering 100 times a day, she wouldn’t have time for singing or arguing with Kevin Federline!
Anyway it looks like Britney is not the only celebrity to play with social networks. Here is a list of the many others joining the social media trend. http://www.celebritiesusingtwitter.com/
