Unlikely Tweeters - Who is your favorite person to follow?

Unlikely Tweeters

Twitter says it has more than 100 million active users – and some of the people sending out tweets might surprise you. Most people already know about such famous tweeters as Ashton Kutcher, Lady Gaga and Shaq. And Danny DeVito created a photo series of his foot in interesting places. However, whether because of their age, image or interests, some people just don’t seem to be likely fans of Twitter. For example, months after her death, the Twitter account of Amy Winehouse is still updated regularly for her followers. CNN lists some other surprising tweeters, along with a sample tweet:

Rupert Murdoch:“@rupertmurdoch Facebook a brilliant achievement, but $75-100bn? Would make Apple look really cheap.”
Mark Zuckerberg:“@finkd Tell your congressmen you want them to be pro-internet. My Facebook post is here ... .”
Don Rickles:“@donrickles Just finished “Hot In Cleveland” - I keep telling Betty White I’m happily married 46 years, but she keeps saying we can work something out!”
Queen Rania of Jordan:“ @QueenRania V. special day. My youngest turns 7 & His Majesty 50! One life full of potential, the other full of accomplishments. #HappyBirthday”
Dalai Lama:“@DalaiLama If the twentieth century was a century of violence, let us make the twenty-first a century of dialogue.”
Stan Lee:“@therealstanlee Pres. Bush gave an actress an award and kissed her cheek. When I was to get my award I said, ‘We don’t haveta kiss, do we?’ We both broke up!”
Pope Benedict XVI:“@PopeBenedictXIV The universe is not the result of chance. We are invited to read something profound into it: the inexhaustible creativity of God”
Cher:“@cher When i tour i want to keep a Twitter Diary & get all the Crew, Dancers, Singers & Band to Tweet with me”
Hugh Hefner:“@hughhefner Both Shera & Anna have early modeling assignments tomorrow, so we’ll be going to bed early tonight.”
