What! The Pope Got A Twitter?!

http://nyti.ms/RwBC81

Yes its true Pope Benedict XVI has a Twitter account as of Yesterday. Within hours, he had more than 250,000 followers. This was created to draw in the Roman Catholic Church's 1.2 billion followers, especially the young people. The Pope said he will not follow anyone for now, he will just be followed from others. His posts will go out in Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and spanish. The tweets will mostly be about content of his speeches, sunday blessings, major holidays, and reactions to major world events. Since the Pope is 85 years old he will not be conducting these tweets himself but have aides typing the tweets and him approving them. This just goes to show you Twitter is trending with the young and old now.         

Baby Bump 

MTV was the first to experience how popular Twitter became over night. That night was the VMA music awards live, the the biggest night for MTV to make sure everything went according to plans. Little did MTV know that Beyonce and Jay Z had something up their own sleeve for the whole audience to see. At the end of the night Beyonce preformed her number one song at the time love on top. After the performance she ripped open her purple blazer and started to rub her belly indicating she was pregnant! The audience went wild and the people at home were tweeting away. 8,868 tweets a second, according to Twitter. This was a huge turning point for Twitter and since then Twitter has been there along the ride for many other things that have made history today.   

    

Ex's On Twitter

Celebrities have been using Twitter a lot, mostly for endorsements, selling their product, or talking about their everyday life. But what happens when they suddenly have a fight with another celebrity? Rob Kardashian is a great example for this one. Just a couple of days ago Rob Kardashian was posting pictures and tweeting about how in love he is with Rita Ora. The only thing is everything Rob was tweeting about Rita positive he was tweeting just as much negative. Today I logged onto Twitter thinking I was going to see some funny and interesting tweets but to my surprise my whole Twitter news was Rob Kardashian tweeting disturbing and nasty things about Rita Ora cheating! I was shocked but so interested at the same time. Just think you did not need to wait till later that day or even the next day on TV to find out about their breakup, nope just log onto Twitter and Rob was willing to say it all. Thats the thing about social networks they can either make or break you. For Rita Ora this just broke her.  

    

To become famous today you do not need to go to countless hours of auditions or drive miles away in hope of making it big. All you have to do is post a video on Youtube, its that easy. Two great examples of this are the heart throbbing Justin Bieber and rapper Soulja Boy. Biebs became so popular off Youtube by his mom posting one simple video of him singing for family and friends to see. Realizing how popular he was becoming she kept posting more and more videos not really knowing what it was going to lead to. At 12 years old Justin Bieber was discovered off Youtube by music producer Scooter Braun and became the most famous young singer to hit the pop culture world. Another great example of how YouTube became a doorway in becoming famous is how rapper Soulja Boy hit the Internet in 2004. Soulja made his own YouTube page trying to have people come across his talent. YouTube came through once again and he was founded by Atlanta producer Mr. Collipark. Soulja went on in winning a Grammy for best rap song just years later. YouTube has taken celebrity status to another level and now people like you and me can show our true talent for the world to see.

Pintrest? 

Pintrest is new and exciting to the social media platform world. Sky rocketing overnight Pintrest became popular in pinning random things you like, quotes, pictures, food, style, places, ect. So are celebrities in on it too? Yes as a matter of fact they are pinning what interests them, their own brands, and ideas they can do or use. You can easily look up a celebrity and follow them on Pintrest just as easy as Twitter and Facebook. With celebrities now on Pintrest there is much hope that it will succeed and more people will join just to see what their celebrity likes and interests are, as well as being a huge brand opportunity for celebrities. My guess is more and more celebrities will join by taking advantage on this opportunity in marketing their brand more on Pintrest to their followers who will see this and repinn hopefully buying in the near future. 

We will see.....     

Retweet

How To Get A Celebrity To Tweet You Back! 

No one has ever thought in a million years that you would be able to talk or get in touch with your favorite celebrity unless you somehow saw them and was able to talk face to face. Twitter has now changed all of that, being able to see what your favorite celebrity is doing or saying you are also able to talk to them! Yes I said it TALK to them! Most celebrities will see your tweet but once in a blue moon tweet you back depending on what your characters say in your tweet. There are 5 ways your celebrity will RT (retweet) you back. 

1) Ego Tweet: This is a tweet in brining back what they did in the past. Saying how much you appreciated what they did or who they were. This mostly applies to retired athletes or not so popular celebrities anymore.    

2) Photo Tweet: Find a classic moment or picture where the celebrity did something good, giving a compliment with the picture. They will like how you took time out to do that for them.  

3) Question Tweet: Sometimes celebrities will take time out of their day and do question time. This is when they will answer you the most. So keep a look out for that! 

4) Guilt Tweet: If you tweet a celebrity "you never tweet me back" they will feel sympathy and tweet you back. This mostly happens if you see the celeb tweeting a lot only. 

5) Twolling: This tweet usually works the best, although you shouldn't really do it. All you have to do is be mean, make fun of them, or hit hard on their personal life. Most of the time celebrities will tweet you back giving you a sarcastic remark and saying how rude you are. No one can can not RT back and let people get away with it.

Little Tweets

Too Young To Tweet?

Believe it or not there are little star Tweedos! One celebrity is Aubrey Anderson Emmons, also known as Lily the adopted daughter on the hit show Modern Family. Aubrey has 16,000 followers on Twitter and tweets simple things by answering questions like what is her favorite color or thing to do? Although Aubrey does not conduct the tweet herself having her mom do the replying and sending she does answer them verbally, all being in first person. Another young celebrity tweeter is the famous Toddlers and Tiaras star Eden Wood, ranking in just over 10,000 followers. Eden's mom just like Aubrey's conduct's all the tweets but also answers all of them herself as well. Saying she sometimes mixes up her own Twitter tweets with her daughters! All Eden knows is how many followers she has and how that makes her more famous. So the question here is are they too young to have a twitter? When is an appropriate time for them to start tweeting their actual selves? The common thing you see in young celebrities today is they are being worked too hard. Their becoming over exposed too much to the media. So should this be something to take into consideration with young celebrities having a Twitter now in this day and age?
