Stephen Fry hits 100,000

Stephen Fry is currently the second most followed ‘tweet’ on popular social-networking site, Twitter. He even tweeted whilst stuck in a lift!

People are excited by news and interested in others, and this site is instant. You can tweet in the shower, having breakfast, on a flight(I think!) and so it’s attracted a lot of attention and become popular in this time, even superseding Facebook in the popularity stakes.

Twitter especially can be used for a variety of different and exciting reasons. Obama used this(amongst other online tools) to his advantage and his eventual election, by constantly interacting with his fans.

It’s also a great way to follow other designers/developers, see their interests and inspirations.
