Twitter, the popular social networking tool, has become a world-wide craze. Posts, otherwise known as tweets, are limited to 140 characters, and the service was first adopted by mainly business and media outlets, used to keep updated on the daily and sometimes minute to minute changes in their areas of expertise.

However, Twitter has gone mainstream. More and more people are utilizing the service for their own needs and agendas. One of the unusual aspects of Twitter is the thrust of the free social networking service’s popularity into the general population has been due to the increasing number of celebrities on Twitter. In fact, the idea of celebrities on Twitter has become so ingrained into Twitter culture, that the concept has even turned into a comedy bit on NBC’s The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, called Celebrity Twitter Tracker.
