Stephen Fry on the joys of Twitter
Very interesting clip of Stephen Fry talking about the benefits and dangers of Twitter addiction.
For those that don’t know Twitter is another social network, allowing registered users to micro-blog messages of up to 140 characters aka ‘Tweets.’ Twitter has shot to popularity with a 1000% increase in registered users over the last year. It is interesting how many celebrities have embraced Twitter as a communication tool with their fans. Other celebrity users include Jonathan Ross, John Clease, Andy Murray and Alan Carr. Russell Brand already has 7342 ‘followers’ since joining yesterday thanks to a bit of exposure from his partner in crime Jonathan Ross aka Wossy.
It will be interesting to see how Twitter continues to grow and whether people see it as a gimmicky self-gratification tool for celebs, another voyeuristic portal, or even a credible breaking news source. Watch this space…. www.twitter.com
