How Do Celebrities Use Twitter? Interview With @cookwithjopratt Celebrities and stars in the food world use Twitter for a lot of reasons – promoting a new venture, to praise or complain about something, to share information, to spread news about a good cause. So I thought it would be fun to hear from the stars themselves about how they use it. Jo Pratt is a food stylist, writer, presenter and home economist in the UK. She is the former food writer for ELLE magazine, and has been Food Editor for GLAMOUR magazine for 4 years. Her books In The Mood For Food and In The Mood For Entertaining have been go-to guides since their release. With a BA honours degree in Home Economics, Jo’s experience comes from working with big name chefs such as Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver and on everything from live cooking demonstrations to TV programs such as Hell’s Kitchen.

"Maîtresse, quand est-ce qu'on tweete ?" La première "twittclasse" française a vu le jour en 2009 dans un lycée de La Rochelle. Depuis, nombre d'écoles utilisent le réseau de microblogging, notamment pour l'enseignement de l'écriture et de la lecture. LE MONDE | • Mis à jour le | Par Cécile Bontron Assis devant le petit bureau de la chambre de ses parents, Lucas réfléchit à la phrase qu'il veut écrire. Comme pour y puiser l'inspiration, le petit blondinet de 7 ans plante ses yeux bleus sur sa mère, restée à côté. Mais Virginie Verleye, Dunkerquoise de 33 ans, ne faiblit pas : son aîné a voulu reproduire l'exercice réalisé toute l'année en classe de CP, il doit aller jusqu'au bout. Car en 2010, le petit Dunkerquois a fait partie de la première classe française de CP utilisant Twitter pour apprendre à lire et à écrire. L'initiative reste marginale, mais elle se multiplie chez les enseignants. @Classe_Masson s'est vite rodée. A La Providence, les 24 élèves tweeteurs se sont ainsi montrés bien plus productifs que prévu.

Did I miss any? 25% of Twitter Users Say Promoted Tweets Are Relevant [Data] Things look promising for Promoted Tweets, Twitter's advertising platform. New data from market research firm Lab42, as reported by eMarketer, shows that 24.8% of Twitter users say they have seen Promoted Tweets from brands that are relevant to them. More than 1/5 of users said they have gotten a discount or have found out about a new brand through a Promoted Tweet, and 14% of respondents said they have retweeted a Promoted Tweet. Interestingly, only about 11% of those surveyed said following brands was a reason they joined the site, with about half saying they followed just 10 brands on Twitter. If you're sharing something relevant, people will be receptive to your marketing. This applies not only to your Promoted Tweets, but also to things like your Facebook Ads, Google Ads, and even your blog content and email campaigns. Are you considering a Promoted Tweets campaign?
Who You Follow On Twitter Says A Lot About You A while back, I did a post about celebs who revealed their haircuts on twitter and what that said about them. I believe that things like what you carry around in your wallet as well as what kind of wallet you carry says a lot about you. So I wanted to investigate the people whom I and others follow on Twitter and see if it is an accurate representation of who we are. Here’s what I discovered: - About 80% of the tweeps I follow have something to do with food. - If you choose to follow me and you’re legit, I will probably follow you. - I was surprised to see that I follow a lot of beauty people. - Ah, the tech and social media folks. To compare, I thought I’d look into someone we probably both know of and see if we can assess what kind of person they are. @CynfulCyndi Made myself platinum,but was born a dirty blonde ♥ *Personal Assistant Extraordinaire* #BEACH #BOXING #SURFERS #SINGING #SCORPIO #INK #FITNESS #ANIMALS @hotrod4087 57 yr. old male just trying to survive in crazy screwed world…
