Last week our poll question was which are the top 5 twitters you would follow? As mentioned in previous post, there are a lot of celebrities and famous people are using Twitter, they even active than us as in their daily life.

As a result of voting, the top 1 twitter people would follow goes to Taylor Swift. Everyone knows Taylor Swift, guess her song "Love Story' was playing around wherever we go. I believe she has bunch of die hard fans that would waiting for her twitter update everyday. This shows how powerful a song can make a person famous. Second is President Barack Obama. Yes, the president of the United States. He twittered himself in the weeks leading up to the election, giving updates on appearances. Since he has taken the position, he is getting busier and his staff would help him to update his millions followers. Thirdly, there are same number of votes go to Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears. Ashton Kutcher is the top Twitter user, he has over millions of followers. As for Britney Spears, she is very good in getting attention using Twitter. She uses Twitter to thank her fans, and give away concert tickets. Last, Mr.Bill Gates got the least votes. In fact, I think many people is following his Twitter, perhaps you are just not one of them. No doubt, he is a genius.

I believe Twitter features not just to get as much as followers as possible. Instead, it is a very useful social networking site for us to keep in touch with the world. Therefore, use your Twitter well. :)
