Following Dane Cook

I chose Dane Cook to review. I went to see him at the Wachovia in May for my birthday and he was a riot. I have always watched him on Comedy Central and I really love his movies. He is hilarious in Good Luck Chuck, Waiting and My Best Friend’s Girl. When we started these Twitter accounts I looked him up just for fun. When I found him I was surprised to find that his tweets were protected. I put in a request to follow him and within a day he had accepted. I was even more surprised when I looked at his page and found that he has 1,315,122 followers. Everyone from other celebrities to fans follow him. It made me wonder why he protects his tweets if he is going to let everyone who requests follow him. Obviously he has a twitter for publicity and gaining more fans; but I don’t get the point in protecting the tweets. I really expected him to have fewer followers. On the opposite side of that he follows 94 people. After looking at some other celebrities and who they follow, I found this number to be rather high. He follows a lot of other celebritites and a few friends and fans. But he follows a lot of fellow comedians. After looking it all over I think that maybe he uses twitter to keep up with the competition as well as staying in touch with friends. Reviewing who people follow and who follows them is interesting but I think overall there is no ryhme or reason; people follow who they are interested in.
