Celebrity Tweeting Done Right: Danny DeVito - September 5th, 2009
[UPDATE]:This account has been verified.
While the legitimacy of this account is still in question, I think it’s safe to say we’re all hoping that it’s really Danny DeVito. If it isn’t him, then I’m still fully behind this guy because he’s so amazingly awesome. If you’re still not quite sure, then take a look at the profile picture:
As you can see, if it’s a fake, it’s a good one. It’s also hilarious. This is the sort of thing that more iconic characters should do; it’s fun, it’s public, and it’s great for relevance when so many younger people today probably don’t follow the greats that we all grew up knowing and loving. It also serves to help bridge the gap between popular (hollywood-driven) culture and the Internet, where things tend to stay rather encapsulated within their communities.
Real or not, the account was able to amass over 1,000 followers in the first 5 hours. That’s not bad considering it’s not even trying.
