Black Web 2.0: Karrine Steffans Joins Twitter?

  • Suki Fuller · 1 year ago
    Liz, she brings no value to my Twitter stream also my life thus not following.
  • LaLaFuFu dotcom · 1 year ago
    She don't like to be called SUPERHEAD! But yeah she follows no one and all her tweets sound like google text ads. Nothing to see head people, move along...

    @Suki, True she doesn't bring much value to my twitter stream either, but it's more about the people she brings with her. This could go for anyone who has a large following online. You may also not like the types of people she brings (if you assume you know who they are), but in general none of these sites are useful to others until they attain a critical mass of a VARIETY of people. Personally, I have found some new people I find interesting based off of just researching who follows her. Of course, she's just an example for the moment.

    @LalaFuFu She could get her content game up, but that also assumes your method on how to use twitter is the right method. The beauty of Twitter is that you can use it many different ways.

    To befriend Karrine/superhead or NOT...hmmm don't even need to think about it...hehe...but good blog about using celebrities to promote a site.

    it's not about counting the people you reach, but reaching the people that count. Superhead's presence doesn't preserve the sexy of Twitter; instead, it's more of a marble of mediocrity splashing into the digital abyss. And I doubt if the ripples go far in the coming weeks.

    Superhead's first post:
    @whitneyhouston Whitney! Will u plz come over and get Bobby B. He's passed out on my couch again. I'm with Eddie Winslow now... u know, from Family Matters.

    @EddieWinslow Baby, I'm sorry I slept with Urkel. Forgive me.

    For celebrity usage to really mean something (and hold value) on Twitter, they'll have to use it like the Zappos CEO does and the Jet Blue team -- to have real conversations with their customers (fans). If more celebrities did that -- then the site might become more mainstream.

    BTW @Liz Burr -- welcome aboard. Nice first post.
  • Andy DeSoto · 1 year ago
    Pretty wild! I didn't know some of these individuals (even Superhead/Stephans) but this is a really interesting post with a more mainstream perspective (something I get less of every day, geez)!

    Thanks for writing. =)

    The "quality" of the celebrity is, I guess, the answer to the question of when Twitter goes Nova. plus, there may be more actual celebs on it that we even know of. The ones that are probably are using it as suggested. as a means of promotion. Look at the ones, that are known (possibly Kayne aside). Snoop Dogg, Hammer, Obama, Superhead. Maybe there are some celeb geeks who use it, but prefer not to promote themselves.

    LOL @ Funkdigital. Cute.

    Thanks Lynne :)

    @Roddykat, I totally forgot @MCHammer is on Twitter. I follow him too, my bad.

    Who are some celebrities that you would like to see join Twitter? Do you have a Twitter wish list?

    Twitter accounts that I would love:

    Shaq - 2 words . . . Kobe Freestyle
    50 Cent - No matter how you feel about his music his interviews tend to be comedy gold!
    Dave Chappelle - I would love to know what he's up to. What if he was on Twitter while in Africa? lol
    Killer Mike - He's another member of my All-Interview team in music.
    Aaron McGruder - I would definitely love to read about what's going on in that head of his on a day to day basis.
    Will Smith - I'm not going to lie . . . I have a man-crush on dude.

    This is good. Now we don't have to wait for the redundant gossip sites to find out who's gettin' some.

    Do we know which PDA she's using? Can she twitter with one hand? :D
  • LaLaFuFu dotcom · 1 year ago
    @bill c, "PDA? What's that?"
  • Ananda Leeke · 1 year ago
    Great post. I think Twitter is a great Web 2.0 tool to build connections, community, and brand awareness with an audience. I started using Twitter as an author after I got back home from Blogging While Brown in July. Angela and Markus' presentation convinced me to start using so many of the Web 2.0 tools out here to enhance my online presence as an author, artist, yoga teacher, and life entreprneur. I am totally digging all of the great information on Black Web 2.0.

    Super head 15 mins of fame is now over. There's a new book on the block A Gold Digger's Guide written by a model name Baje (beige) it's not a stupid tell all book putting people's business out there but a Guide on how go get what you want, without giving IT up ...and best of all what to do with the money once you get it.

    Now that's a woman I admire : )
  • donna · 1 year ago
    Now there is another video vixen name Baje who wrote a book about getting money from men. She is way classier than Karrine though...Karrine uses her ass and Baje uses her mind to get $.....her goal is to get money from men without sleeping with them....now that's one book I cant wait to read. (i need some pointers)
