Stephen Fry is following me on twitter!

...more like a PROPER genius.

His blog is excellent, he's a right ol' techno whizz :) I could get lost in there for hours. ...and he still ranks #4 for the term 'blog'.

James.

Is it actually him following you or his PR agency? Most 'celebs' do this.

It looks to me as though successful people follow people as well as being followed. The whole point of Twitter is interactivity and sharing of information. It's obvious from both Stephen Fry's and Richard Branson's Twitter (and Richard is now following me on Twitter, see my thread on the main forum here) that they are writing their own Twitter updates, although where a public figure has a PA then of course they will have help managing the inevitable deluge of direct messages and deciding who to follow back. My point is that at the beginning of 2009, there is nothing suspicious about the whole thing, although it will probably only be a matter of time before all the fake profiles start springing up as they did in MySpace.

interestingly enough, its started to make an appearance in some of the newspapers after jonathan ross mentioned that jack dee's profile is a fake one.. richard bransons one is real though but most likely run by his PR agency..

With the volume of inbound links to his blog Google will have swallowed the link-bait and pushed him up the rankings. And why not? He's a super chap and a National Treasure to boot!
Anyone found a Clement Freud blog?
