As you know, I find
the Twitter-dot-com a great place for people watching. You can follow anyone
there—from convicted felons to the Pope. I use my account to tap into all kinds
of perspectives, including a few people who fall into the celebrity category.
No—not Kardashian-celebrity.
But it turns out that William Shatner, for example, is pretty clever. And he
really understands social media: he does a pretty good job of engaging with
people; he does some promoting, but isn’t obnoxious about it; and he doesn’t
get involved in flame-wars.
Well, I was Twitter-searching
for Names I Know one day and came across Ray Stevenson. And I quite like some
of his acting work, so I became follower number six (about which I tweeted). Even
though I thought his presence there was kind of, well, bewildered. In a sweet, rather
Titus Pullo way:
Since then he’s deleted
a few tweets and added a couple, for a total in his queue of six tweets in five
months.
Clearly he’s not
quite grasping this whole thing, not even to the extent of hiring some tenth
grader to toss out a few tweets every couple of weeks. He’s still collecting
followers, though; and I live in hope.
But, you know, I'm not really following him for his social media skills; he has other assets.
