[...] I’m not really interested in the question of whether “Twitter will endure” or not. They have $100 million from investors – unless they’re burning wads of cash building a replacement for the space shuttle, they will endure for quite a while. So, we have an answer to a question that was borderline stupid to ask in the first place, certainly in a post-Ashton Kutcher post-Oprah twitterverse. [...]

[...] I think that authentic and transparent personal Twitter accounts – being yourself in an uncontrived way – may indirectly and intimately influence (I3) organizational brands, because of the level of trust involved in sharing information with someone over the course of time. Many people have increased awareness of the government through talking to me and reading my Twitter feed. But I am not a public affairs professional, nor the official brand of the Department of Defense – just an informed, empowered, and hopefully interesting individual. [...]

I love the fact that Twitter works up and down the spectrum – celebrities can be seen as “real” people and real people can develop an almost instant feeling of celebrity status on Twitter. I think these two trends will collide in ways not yet imagined. It’s interesting that we as a society tend to follow celebrities from afar and “feel like” we know them. How will people deal with the fact that they might actually be able to have conversations with these celebs? And conversely, how will ordinary people deal with having hundreds or even thousands of people following them – much like a celebrity does? I honestly can’t wait to find out. Thanks Mark, for the thought-provoking post!

Phil Baumann, re: Twitter “strips down the walls”… absolutely! One thing to add: it’s ability to cross platforms – you don’t just Twitter from your laptop or computer, but by text message, iPod Touch, etc. – is its most powerful element. With the age of the smartphone becoming a reality (Techradar: http://tinyurl.com/a3jj49), brevity is king.

About celebrities being on microblogs… I think they’ll catch on, too. I’d love to see Marky Mark on Twitter as well. And someone should start a Christopher Walken and Chuck Norris quote machine on Twitter (if it’s not already been done! Must investigate.) I never liked Shaq before he came on Twitter… now with his personality shining through, I think he’s AWESOME. Twitter definitely broke down the walls between him and fans by the direct communication to us. Very cool.

I agree with Mark and MC Hammer–celebrities are starting to make the jump to Twitter. The mashup celebritytweet.com shows a timeline of only celebrities’ tweets, along with links to their handles, so people can follow them individually. The range of celebrities varies quite a bit, as well as how they use twitter: @Borat [Sagdiyev] tweets in character (“very nice!”), @britneyspears’s ghost writer doesn’t even try to tweet in the first person (refreshing honesty), and @TinaFey tweets about the funny, mundane things in life that remind us that we’re all human, e.g. “Somewhere a man named Barack Obama sits on a toilet and thinks the same thing I do: I need to trim my toe nails.”

Whether it’s for concert updates, random thoughts, or politics, I think celebrities are a “brand” that will be a growing force on Twitter in ‘09. Let’s hope the majority of them use the tool as a personal–not corporate–brand (ahem, Ms. Spears…or Sen. Clinton).

Interesting take! One of the things I like about Twitter is the mix of “twitterati”, “geek elite” , “mainstream” celebrities and “regular folks”, with some folks – @wilw for example – blurring the celebrity geek line completely. (I use geek as a compliment, btw).

With the retweeting and random followings leading to miscellaneous connections, I don’t always remember how I originally connected to the avatar I may be exchanging 140 character quips with.

I like the way this somewhat evens things out – prominent businessmen/women, editors of top periodicals/blogs, artists, musicians, freelancers, biological scientist-government consultant-writers, stay at home parents and the unemployed all finding ways to related to each other . . . six degrees of separation in action!
