I was shocked to receive this email today:
WHA????
How is this possible?
I know the Twitterverse is smaller than we all suspect, with fans of mega stars now possessing the ability to follow people on Twitter and see into the very minutiae of their daily lives…and yes, today I decided to follow Rick Warren on Twitter (no big deal….he has thousands of followers) but it is much less often that these so-called mega stars FOLLOW YOU BACK.
Now, I’m not naive enough to think that it’s ACTUALLY the Honorable-Reverend-Doctor-Sir-Richard-Warren himself that is following me…it is probably an intern or assistant of some sort that is in charge of his media, social networking, etc…but still…it’s weird. Just weird enough to make me pause and think to myself…”oh goodness…I need to watch what I Twitter!” No more “That’s What She Said” jokes with @cottrelltravis or “your butt” jokes with @heids124…this is big time. I’m a Twitter celebrity.
NOT
But still…I will think twice before pressing that send button from now on.
Rick Warren is watching.
