Ashton Kutcher (aka @aplusk), has over one million and only follows back 93. Oprah has almost half a million followers and follows back 10. Oprah has only sent 4 @replies – ever – and they where to other celebrities. Most of us “regular” folks use twitter to say connected to EACH OTHER, but Celebs seem to use it as an another PR Machine, new ammunition for their publicists'. When Ashton was competing with CNN for one million followers, he claimed he was doing it “for the people” and “for the net”. It seems more to me like he was doing it for his ego. Whats the point of a million followers, if you aren't engaging them in meaningful conversation, and following back?
