How to Spot a REAL #Celebrity on Twitter
12/07/09 17:13 Filed in: Twitter
I’ll be honest, which is a rare thing on the internet. There is no way to 100% know that a celebrity is really actually typing every tweet. However there are some ways to spot an account that is all-together fake.
The easiest way is to look at their twitter page. While a normal user might follow a ton of people in hopes that some will follow back, a celebrity can usually amass quite a following without following anyone. So if you see on their Twitter page that they follow many more people than are following them, it’s probably a fake account. If you follow a celebrity and they try to sell you Britney Spears sex videos,.... also a fake!
Don’t be fooled by people who put “THE” or :THEREAL” in their name. This doesn’t mean it’s not the real McCoy, but it certainly doesn’t mean that it is either! If it looks like there’s a good chance that the account is legitimate follow for a while. The celeb in question may post pics of themselves in different locations and whatnot, or give other clues as to the validity of the account.
A number of celebrities are now getting their accounts verified. Remember that even when a Celebrity announces their Twitter account name on live TV, they may or may not be typing every post. The account may also be controlled by an agent or publicist so don’t ever think that every tweet as coming from John Q Celebrity.
