I think it is very interesting to see the research done on twitter and celebrities. People are so fascinated with the fact that twitter allows everyday people to connect with and see the "real person" of the celebrity, behind the celebrity facade. Twitter allows these people to have a closer connection with their idols; from television stars to famous musicians. Twitter truly is becoming a phenomenon and is especially pivotal for the media attention of the celebrities connected with this network. In the future, I think twitter will continue to expand and test the limits of technological connections with people.

What about John Mayer??? He's also one of the most famous celeb tweeters with 2 473 699 followers and 2 352 tweets, which puts him above Perez Hilton.

Brian,

That's excellent research, particularly given the large number of people following entertainers. It's interesting to get an in-depth look at how different kinds of people are using Twitter, and the leading players/practitioners. Last week, for example, Sysomos published a report looking at the leading political voices - http://www.sysomos.com/insi....

I did something akin to this but much smaller and more humble for the shipping industry (generally less savvy on twitter than airlines), which you'll find here:

The next generation will adopt some of your techniques and visualisations.

This list should really include Tila Tequila (@officialTila). She is easily one of the most outspoken, and quite frankly most irritating, voices on Twitter. From her suicidal breakdown to her weird conspiracy beliefs (aliens live inside people's brains?), she has regularly been a disruptive voice on Twitter.

Also, the fact that she regularly gets her "army" to force topics of her choice into the Trending Topics also establishes her as a Twitter celebrity. Lover her or hate her, she needs to be included on any list of this sort.

Brian:

Great summary. Next phase - how will these celebrities brands' sponsorship dollars increase (decrease) as a result of their engagement with their fans. One could probably create an analysis of increased (decrease) sponsorship dollars for athletes rather than celebs. Can we prove that twitter engagement with fans increases sponsorship dollars? I'm guessing yes.
