KRST Country Stars Twitter
Lots of KRST Country Stars are getting on Twitter. Some really seem to enjoy it and share lots of personal information and pics. Others are clearly doing it just as a promotional vehicle. Knowing you probably don't want your Twitter list filled with SPITTER (my term for SPAM on Twitter), we went through and checked out all the artists' Twitter accounts to see which ones are worth following.
We rate them on a scale of 1 to 5 Tweets based on the following criteria...
1) Is it really them? Some are clearly a webmaster or fan club president doing promotional updates.
2) Is it all promotions or do they share their personal life? I mean, we really want to feel like we know them, right?
3) How often do they update? Every day? Once a week? Rarely?
4) Do they do fun things for fans? Some artists leave concert tickets under a fake name at their shows. Show up and ask for them and you're in free! Pretty cool!
5) Do they reply to comments from fans? That's where Twitter really becomes fun for a fan... when your favorite artist actually talks to you!
I've also added my comments... good or bad. So here you go... read it and Tweet!

(6/10/2009 8:15:24 PM) This is so odd! Two with the exact same user name. To find the REAL Taylor you have to search for taylorswift13, not Taylor Swift. You'll know you have the right one when she has 582,000 followers! YIKES! I've updated my review based on the correct Taylor profile. MUCH better! :) |
