@StephenFry, UK TV broadcaster and now unofficial poster child/ marketing marvel for Twitter, has passed over 100,000 followers on the service today.
Only a week ago, we joked that Stephen Fry’s appearance at the London Apple Store might cause a riot, because he had 65,000 users at that point. He’s gained over 35,000 followers in a week! (BTW – the Apple event is now off)
His 100,000th follower is Hayley Elliot (@amellioh).
Fry is also the third most followed on the whole of Twitter, easily being the most popular in the UK. only about 25k more and he’ll be threatening cnnbrk’s position.
I’m sure people will look back at this and just wonder, “WHY?!!”
Why should anyone care what a pleasant enough, but frankly unexciting, B list celeb gets up to every minute of the day?
Valid point Tony.
The understanding of celebrity is confusing at best.
Following people on Twitter is much easier to grasp.
