Will You Unfollow Oprah on Twitter?

Jeanne — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 07:59:00 +0000

I know that when Oprah announced that she was creating a Twitter account, almost everyone that I knew immediately followed her. She gained almost half a million followers in less than a month even though she hasn’t really done anything.

According to Chicago Now, Oprah “had 1,336,827 followers when she sent her last tweet on June 6. Today she has 1,801,684 (and counting).” That’s really incredible. If you’ve ever tried to build a following on Twitter, you will know that it’s not always that easy.

It’s unfortunate, therefore, that she really doesn’t interact on the site. Her last tweet was exactly a month ago (June 6, 2009) when she wrote: "Today went to see Phylicia Rashad in AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. It too was outstanding. Makes me crave BROADWAY!!"

I would love to hear more about what she’s doing this summer and what products she’s trying out and which restaurants she enjoys.

I definitely don’t tweet as much as I should but I also am not a celebrity and I certainly didn’t send my first update on television.

You’ve already created the profile – please tweet some more, Oprah!

Martha Stewart Comes to Mariah Carey’s Defense

Jeanne — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:21:19 +0000

Yesterday, Perez Hilton, called Mariah Carey “unprofessional” and a “major diva” because (according to his “sources”) she was several hours late for a video shoot for a Macy’s commercial which infuriated the other celebrities including Donald Trump and Jessica Simpson.

Meanwhile, Martha Stewart who was a major part of the production had been tweeting updates from the video shoot all morning. I thought it was amazing when she tweeted: "by the way mariah did not keep us waiting as reported by perez hilton the shoo[t] is on schedule thanks to [director Barry] sonnenfeld’s complete command."

I am so glad that Martha Stewart stood up for Mariah and I hope that more and more people will call Perez out when he spreads lies and cruel gossip around about people. As a blogger, I know that we can sometimes get things wrong and it’s not our fault but it’s awful to label someone, a human being, as being a “diva” or “unprofessional” when you don’t even know the circumstances.

Good for you, Martha!

Oprah Uses Twitter For First Time Today!

Jeanne — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 19:02:28 +0000

Oprah Winfrey has joined the Twittersphere (http://twitter.com/oprah) and posted her very first Twitter message this morning on her daytime talk show. What was said in this groundbreaking event?

"HI TWITTERS . THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME. FEELING REALLY 21st CENTURY," she wrote. That’s it. Very basic.

Amazingly, the last time I checked she was close to having 130,000 followers already and she got a message from fellow talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, who said he was at a deli for a photo shoot. She tweeted back: "Hi Jimmy. Order a reuben for me."

She even provided a quick update on her new pet, Sadie, a cocker spaniel who has had some gastrointestinal issues. She wrote: "Sadie’s great. Gets her rabies vaccine today."

Very nice, Oprah! Welcome to the Twitterverse! Don’t forget to follow the other daytime talk shows/hosts on Twitter!
