Does Anyone Famous Follow You On Twitter?

[ichkeria]

I am spending half my life on Twitter at the moment, for reasons manyt will be familiar with, and it struck me how close it brings you to Twitterati who are well known in one public domain or another.
I wondered if any Twitter users here are followed (stalked?!) by anyone famous or moderately so?

I've managed to resist the temptation to live by the condensed 'thoughts' of the great and the good on Twitter so far.

I do receive telegrams and the odd letter from high-powered individuals though.
I may invest in a radiogram some time soon.

I'm seriously thinking of registering with Twitter. Give me a week there and I'll let you know. ;o)

I've heard rumours that most of the UK's A-Listers have already pre-followed Naomi's account once she finally joins :)

Depending upon what the "A" means, that could be either good or bad..

not yet i haven't . . .

Be careful, these 'famous' people are nearly always ordinary souls with ideas above their station. 'Famous' people have better things to do than follow ordinary mortals.

Twitter is great for the immediacy of its updates. Usually you only hear about it when someone has posted something controversial about someone or something and generated what’s often known as a Twitter storm but what I’d prefer to call a lot of pointless hot air.
The great thing about being a comparative nobody is that no one pays any attention to anything you say and you can use the medium to follow the useful stuff.

Here's what many famous people like to do on social media ... get paid for "influencing" ...

Although sometimes they can do some good ...

I'm followed by someone who has a blue tick and quite a big following.

[jim360]

Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?

I do have a twitter account, but I'm rarely on there. Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf's Kryten) posts a lot and funny stuff as does Supernatural's... Angel... Castiel, actor Misha Collins. Other than that I don't really bother with it.

Does 'a big following' not just mean their buttocks are larger than average?

Like the maid in Tom & Jerry.

a friend of mine got a post card from the King of Jordan once
( radio ham, part of the fun apparently)

oh a bit like AB then, ter-daaah !

I can claim one Tory MP who plainly hasn’t a life ;-)

[tiggerblue10]

Were we supposed to give names or just say yes to someone famous following us? Lol

[Cloverjo]

I think I'm followed by Socks the Waving Cat who is quite famous on Twitter. Does that count?

[Arksided]

I think that depends on how sarcastic or sharp witted you are Tigger to catch their attention. Gawd know’s how they found me.

I don’t have a twitter account, but based on his pronouncements in the press, I’m pretty sure Boris Johnson is reading my posts on answerbank.
