The type of people on Twitter

Some think that there is a certain type of person that uses Twitter, but in reality, there are no defined characteristics of the people on Twitter – the most popular social media tool of the Web 2.0 generation. What is noticeable though, is that the people that use Twitter are outgoing, friendly and like to socialise through the online medium.

First up, you get celebrities using Twitter, and this is really what started the craze. The celebrity people on Twitter use the application as a vehicle for their own PR and publicity trail. It is simple and extremely effective. Plus, the real bonus is that it’s free, and this has remained one of the most appealing features of social media applications such as Twitter. A good tool to use if you fancy following celebrities on Twitter is aptly named “Celebritytweet”, here they have everyone from Phillip Schofield through to 50 Cent.

The celebrity people on Twitter vary from the very famous A list star to the rather more understated individual, and anyone can ‘follow’ anyone else depending on who they’re interested in. This is where Twitter really comes into its own, as the general public instantly feel like they can get up close and personal with their favourite celebrities. Twitter does feel very personal. So, the type of people on Twitter could be anyone and everyone, after all, its easy to set up an account, but do bear in mind that just because you’re on Twitter it doesn’t mean people will be interested in what you have to say or want to follow you.

Even if you’re not sure who will follow you or who you will want to follow yourself, the people on Twitter make it easy for you to find each other. It doesn’t have to be people you know, but anyone with something interesting to say can have a voice on Twitter and capture an audience. Join Twitter today and see it for yourself.
