Chicken Soup May Contain Real Chicken — Twitter Celebrities May Contain Real Tweets

June 19, 2011

If you go poking around for advice on how to succeed on Twitter, you’ll find a lot of people saying “be authentic.” Or something similar. Sort of like telling the nerdy kid with no chance to “be himself” when he asks that girl out. “Himself” is the guy in mom’s basement drinking Mountain Dew,...
