Britney’s back! But even more importantly, she’s now on Twitter! The immediate exposure Britney will bring to Twitter, along with the vast reach the service will bring provide Britney, is a win-win situation for both parties! It looks like the marketing and branding team behind Britney Spears are finally getting it. After a complete re-branding of herself, from the hottest celebrity icon in the world, to the most crazy… then back again… this may be her best move yet. In addition to her making the move to Twitter (which is most likely her management team), her new Britney Spears web site has a web 2.0 feel about it as well, and seems to be in a new blog format. Already with only a few posts at her new site, each are receiving hundreds of comments.
For Twitter… this is simply a dream come true! Already Britney Spears’ new twitter account also has 2,323 followers and 16 updates (UPDATE: Just a few hours after this post going live, Britney’s twitter account is now up to 3,574 followers). While this isn’t a lot of followers compared to other big name marketers on Twitter, this is a sure to be one of the fastest growing accounts. Not to mention the free exposure Twitter will get out out it. Having Britney Spears on board will not on bring massive exposure, but will open up the site to a whole new audience of fans and users. Should any other celebrities jump onto the bandwagon and create Twitter accounts, we all know Twitter will soon be on the buying block or start generating revenue sooner than later. Even the web 2.0 savvy MC Hammer has been on Twitter for months and already has a steady following of 6,000.
What do you think about the future of Twitter and why has it taken the media and celebrities so long to take advantage of the web!

"With great power comes great responsibility".... my Uncle Ben told me that. Haha, just kidding! I'm Zac Johnson and I've been making money online for over 10 years now. In short, I started making money online while I was in high school... but my passion for marketing and making money goes back way earlier than that. I created ZacJohnson.com to help motivate you to start making money online, and live the life the you always dreamed of.
Of course, its about time! I like Britney Spears and of course she will have an affect on Twitter. All bloggers etc… will benefit from the possibilities. Time for others to follow

Replywow i must follow Britney Spears on Twitter
ReplyThats a great thing for twitter users, at last britney has to say this ” Follow Me” - following you britt
ReplyThis is the biggest thing happen with twitter so far, i guess there are more to come in the way…
ReplyYou must re-build that site - people are hitting “britney” on google
ReplyI am one of those people. I just added you to be nice.
ReplyTwitter got a mention on the sit-com, Big Bang a couple weeks ago, too. I thought it was pretty cool, but I’m concerned about the “celebrity” of Twitter.
Twitter seems to have enough trouble with the traffic they have, currently. What if a bunch of celebs get on and “break” Twitter? I’d love to see it grow — come one, come all, I just hope they can keep up with the added traffic it will bring to the site.
ReplyBritney’s back, and she’s badder than ever!!
ReplyTwitter needs to put some serious money to work to make sure they don’t have those same problems… down time is not tolerable.
ReplyTwitter is gaining popularity, and fast. Every major star will have a twitter account. You can see most anchorman and news announcers already have one and are using them for live news.
ReplyYou should. You got a priceless Domain in pocket
ReplyHave you seen the new Britney Spear video? All I can say is wow!
She may be a slut, but I’d still do her.
ReplyIt’s good to see her back in action with a bang!! honestly i didn’t thought so! lol!!
ReplyAll I can say is she is gaining popularity and that to too fast.
I am excited that Twitter is getting more exposure now that they have a celeb like Britney on board. And better yet, I am excited that Britney is making a come back. She just got mixed up there for awhile, but who doesn’t go astray and then eventually find there way back.
ReplyWow…….Twitter me pink:) or whatever color Britney likes. I have had a Twitter account for about a month now. That is great to think it is starting to get big now.
ReplyTwitter is about to become a joke if celebrities use it just to promote themselves. I am also a Britney fan and wish she could find a producer like Rick Rubin who would help her to re-establish the career that she deserves.
ReplyThe only thing i’m afraid of is that Britney could rise up just to fall once more. That would have serious consequences for her..
ReplyIts good to see now many celebrities have this twitter account.Good thing for us bloggers and fans got something write too and being updated.Its good to see her back in action.
ReplyWell…the idea of having celebrities join social networking sites is an amazing way to get traffic and this might definitely get twitter to be a face to face competition with our very own facebook !
