Tweet with the best of them: top Twitter pages
If you haven't gotten sucked into the weird world of Twitter yet, it won't be long.
The newest social networking trend has been described as mini-blogging and super-Facebook status, which makes it seem redundant, but as soon as you've compiled a decent list of people to "follow," you'll be watching it as much as your NewsFeed.
Celebrities, businesses and publications aren't immune to the trend either. Even distinguished members of Congress have been caught Twittering - during Presidential addresses, no less.
To enable your obsession, here are some of the best celebrity "tweets" to follow.
Film and TV. The Office star Rainn Wilson (Dwight K. Schrute) offers up interesting updates and funny YouTube links. Wilson also discusses his new project, SoulPancake.com, a just-launched Web site that proclaims to make pursuing a spiritual life cool.
Michael Ian Black, of VH1 clip-show fame (think back to I Love the '80s) is perhaps one of the most prolific Twitterers out there. He even frequently responds to posts from fans.
David Wain, the creative force behind the Web series Wainy Days and films like Role Models and Wet Hot American Summer, has managed a strong Twitter following.
Rachel Maddow, MSNBC's most adorable host, tweets daily about politics, her show and random musings.
Sports. Shaquille O'Neal tweets about anything and everything, and it's fairly hilarious. Grammar sticklers beware: Shaq's not big on full sentences and proper punctuation, perpetuating the dumb jock stereotype.
Eli Manning is just as guilty of this - he's also out there in the Twitterverse.
Writers. Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody goes through phases of inacitivity, but the updates she does make are offbeat and witty, as we would expect.
Neil Gaiman, author of Stardust and Good Omens, frequently updates about his travels and thoughts.
Music. If only Twittering was a paying gig. Rapper-turned-laughing stock MC Hammer would be a wealthy man once again considering how frequently and exuberantly he tweets.
