Granted the term conversation and celebrity have their limitations in the Twitterverse. But, hey any port in a storm!
I've had short lived conversations with a few CEO's and even a comic book conversation with Michael Chiklis of the Shield and No Ordinary Family fame (@michaelchiklis). I've got a friend who's had a conversation with the likes of Alyssa Milano!! (@aylssa_milano) Seriously how cool is that?
I'm still waiting with baited breath to snag a mention/re-tweet from the king himself Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion)
Twitter is a great way to stay connected with friends and family, the famous and the fictional. So, over the next few days I will pass along a few of my favorite twitter accounts in four main categories: Celebrity, News, Fake and Fictional.
Today we will start with......
Celebrity:
The star of Firefly, Serenity, Slither and Castle is a constant twitter-er. Whether it's pictures from the set. A shot of his action figure Christmas Tree. Or just the cool things that he gets to do with his celebrity. You can always expect a few laughs a day from Capt. Malcom Reynolds himself. A celebrity that embraces twitter is not new. One that is on constantly and answers fans questions and has been known to slip twitter related references into his TV show is rare. Every time you see him "Feed the Bird" or drop a "Bam Said the Lady" it's like your in the know for a cool inside joke. Which is exactly what he's done. It's subtle...but it's there! That's why Fillion is the man.
The star of: The Commish, The Shield, No Ordinary Family. Comic book creator, musician, Autism awareness spokesman. The guy does it all and still finds time for those of us in the twitter world. When his new comic book project "Pantheon" dropped in shops a few months back I made a comment on twitter to the effect that I was really looking forward to the new title and couldn't wait until the second issue hit stands. Within a few minutes I had a response from Michael telling me he was glad I liked the title and he'd keep us updated on when to expect the second issue. True to his word....got that update! So for that...he hits my list!
The Star of: Buffy, Tru Calling and Dollhouse. Activist, funny girl, and lover of all things LA. Dusku is someone I started following when I was watching Dollhouse. While I have never had a direct conversation with her I know that she is open to lending a virtual helping hand when needed. She's done twitter based fundraising for Haiti and other worth while organizations. She's another who is willing to answer questions, interact with the fans and post the occasional silly photo.
SNL Alumni, movie star, Stand up comedian, author, twitter genius. Follow him....follow him now! This is a guy who can make a joke last for days. Usually that's overkill. But, in the case of Steve Martin it's comic gold! His riff a few weeks back about getting a dubious award....from himself was great. As was his short twitter run as President of Egypt. For a good laugh make him a big part of your Twitter stream.
Not a celebrity in the strictest sense of the word. But, if you are a follower of all things Science Fiction...or a regular watcher of the Syfy channel this is a great account to follow. Here you will get hands on news about upcoming shows and events, contests, and usually a large number of Q&A sessions throughout the week. If there was ever a question about how a show makes it to the air, stays on the air, how ratings work...this is your guy. you can also follow his personal feed @craigengler
Tomorrow we will take a look at a few of my favorite "fake" accounts. Oh, and dare I forget to mention...you can always check in on yours truly @jameshields
