There seems to be something of a competitive nature about Twitter these days. It’s no longer just about ‘following’ people and seeing if they follow you too, its now all about the number of Twitter followers you have. This competitive streak started with celebrities trying to race to have the first 1 million followers. And it wasn’t someone that is even super-duper A list that won. 
Ashton Kutcher claimed the ‘most Twitter followers’ title simply by being himself and posting regular, interesting Tweets. This just shows that it’s not all about being a big celebrity if you genuinely have nothing to say. Why would people follow someone who doesn’t have something to say? In general, they won’t. Ashton Kutcher had Britney Spears hot on his heels in the most Twitter followers’ race, and with her varied and rather spontaneous actions, it is easy to see why she attracted so many Twitter followers.
So, in essence, Ashton Kutcher has already won the race for having the most Twitter followers, but that doesn’t mean that other people can’t aim for the same. The race is still very much on. Having as many Twitter followers as possible boosts your profile, network and level of popularity, so naturally people are going to continue trying to claim as many Twitter followers as possible. It’s harmless and it makes the use of Twitter exciting. Its even becoming the hot topic for bar conversations, when someone says “I have 100 followers, how many do you have?” Let’s be honest, you’re going to feel pretty rubbish saying “2”. So, keep on Tweeting and keep on gaining followers. If you’re an interesting person, people will find you.

Some think that there is a certain type of person that uses Twitter, but in reality, there are no defined characteristics of the people on Twitter – the most popular social media tool of the Web 2.0 generation. What is noticeable though, is that the people that use Twitter are outgoing, friendly and like to socialise through the online medium.
First up, you get celebrities using Twitter, and this is really what started the craze. The celebrity people on Twitter use the application as a vehicle for their own PR and publicity trail. It is simple
and extremely effective. Plus, the real bonus is that it’s free, and this has remained one of the most appealing features of social media applications such as Twitter. A good tool to use if you fancy following celebrities on Twitter is aptly named “Celebritytweet”, here they have everyone from Phillip Schofield through to 50 Cent.
The celebrity people on Twitter vary from the very famous A list star to the rather more understated individual, and anyone can ‘follow’ anyone else depending on who they’re interested in. This is where Twitter really comes into its own, as the general public instantly feel like they can get up close and personal with their favourite celebrities. Twitter does feel very personal. So, the type of people on Twitter could be anyone and everyone, after all, its easy to set up an account, but do bear in mind that just because you’re on Twitter it doesn’t mean people will be interested in what you have to say or want to follow you.
Even if you’re not sure who will follow you or who you will want to follow yourself, the people on Twitter make it easy for you to find each other. It doesn’t have to be people you know, but anyone with something interesting to say can have a voice on Twitter and capture an audience. Join Twitter today and see it for yourself.

OK I admit it, I have read Lilly Allen’s Twitter stream once in a while. The reason I liked it was because she spoke her mind and didn’t conform to the usual manufactured pop group nicey smiley image. However, Lilly has revealed that she is logging off from Facebook and Twitter.
The beautiful Lilly signed off in September with the phrase:
“I am a neo-luddite, goodbye”
To be honest I think this might just be Lilly grabbing some headlines. She may well have ditched Twitter for now but I think she will be back as she was known to be a social networking addict. Mark my words – she has only left temporarily and I am sure most of her followers won’t leave because they will be expecting her back too.
