Followers and following
If you find a person, regardless of status and celebrity, interest-
ing then follow them. Do not expect this to lead to a personal
relationship – you can ‘@’ Stephen Fry all you like but he is very
unlikely to invite you round for dinner. I have noticed an increas-
ing trend for people to ask celebrities and people with large
followings to retweet their appeals for fundraising donations and
other charitable causes, which is fine and many do oblige, but
again, do not assume this means you are now bosom buddies.
You can search Twitter and find people who are posting about
things you are interest ...
