Cycling legend Lance Armstrong has been rated as one of the best celebrity users of social media sensation Twitter in a new guide to the website, The Celebrity Twitter Directory. Former Knight Rider star and current judge on America’s Got Talent, David Hasselhoff, however, was voted as one of the worst, along with rap star Eminem, pop icon Janet Jackson, X-Man Hugh Jackman, and illusionist David Copperfield.
Rated on star power, entertainment value and ‘Tweet frequency’, over a thousand celebrity Twitter feeds from the world of TV, film, sports, politics and fashion were assessed, with Lance Armstrong scoring top marks in each category thanks to his entertaining and copious Twitter posts.
The Celebrity Twitter Directory, on sale now at £9.99, is described by the publishers as “the essential guide to the best real celebrity blogs on the world’s hottest website” helping the millions of Twitter users worldwide to decide which feeds to follow, and which to drop. The bookazine is available from WHS, Borders and many good supermarkets, as well as online at www.imagineshop.co.uk.
Editor In Chief Aaron Asadi said: “For celebrity news and updates, Twitter is fast becoming the internet’s best resource, but finding out which blogs to follow can be a laborious process of trial and error. What we’ve done with this bookazine is present a solution to all those who want to use Twitter without wasting their time with poor – and fake – feeds.”
