The Dawn (2006): How Celebrities used Twitter

in the beginning.

Celebrity’s First Tweets…

…

…

“I am doing so much better now without Twitter. I think Twitter should be banned from this universe. People want to know everything, but you need to get out and be healthy and be in the world instead of crouching over a website all the time. All I did in my time off was lie in bed on my computer and sit in bed and eat ice cream and just lay there late at night. I ended up not living my life and saying things that are really no one else’s business. I’m not really a big fan of the Internet anymore. I don’t really go online anymore.”

Celebs use Twitter to promote causes:“That's a change from early Twitter use, when, similar to early Facebook, people would just sort of say where they were or who they were with--which was cool at first but is ultimately boring. Instagram and Twit-picschanged the flavor of the 140-character tweet--now accompanied by full-color images! It's become a powerful tool, not just for celebs--but everyone with an idea to sell”

Social media “invaluable”

“I‟d rather check Rihanna‟sInstagram feed than read an article about her.”

“You‟re almost better off checking their Twitter feed first before you reach out to a publicist.”
