Natalie Imbruglia (@natimbruglia) responding to a fan on Twitter. natalieimbruglia

While a number of stars are still using Twitter for broadcast (get an intern to tweet 140 char press releases linking to full press release) more and more are using the online community Twitter in a social way.

When it’s not Natalie, her management team (see above)  sign tweets E.M. (Egg Management).

PS the main page Thumbnail shows Nat’s boobs, not her head. Dunno why, they aren’t that great. *miffed*

 

Social Network Games and Twitter: MediaHunter very cleverly points out how fake the “Gosh, I’m almost as big as CNN” video from Ashton Kutcher was. The blog post outlines the time line and the “spontaneous” (read:NOT) nature of engagement from all concerned, including the company that donated just so happened to be able to donate over 1000 billboards for the stunt. To me, this week’s Twitter activities appear to have been a very well orchestrated publicity stunt with several beneficiaries. In fact, you only need to look at the beneficiaries to begin realising how all this came together. Heh, but Continue Reading…

 

 Online Communities rock for voyeurs and snoops. Here’s a scrap currently ongoing between @PerezHilton (of the infamous Perez Hilton blog) and @aplusk otherwise known as Ashton Kutcher, Punk’d host, blogger and Mr Demi Moore (she’s @mrskutcher) : Ashton Kutcher : He doesn’t like me cause the truth threatens his relevance. RT mrsscrapper Perez is so not supportive of you (RT means retweet, so it would read (tweet from @mrsscrapper) “Perez is SO not supportive of you”) (link)  Perez Hilton: The “truth” is subjective. You think really highly of yourself if you know the “truth”! (link)  Ashton Kutcher:  your truth is indeed subjective, Continue Reading…
