Celebrities and athletes: they're just like us - they want to use Twitter to trade n00dz. Here's how.

Twitter has become the great leveler in the vast chasm that used to exists between us plebes and the celebrities we adore. In ye olden days, one might have to send a letter by mail to a P.O. box (ew, stamps) to tell their favorite actor or singer how much they appreciated them. Fan clubs existed on the theory that in order to be around other people who liked a singer or actor as much as you did, you'd need to pay some dues and show up at monthly meetups, or getting a newsletter in the mail.
The idea of joining a fanclub now is ridiculous. Twitter basically exists for the purpose of fueling a non-stop Justin Bieber fan meetup - the sheer amount of accounts dedicated to only tweeting about Beebs is incredible; you can tell because they tend to have Justin somewhere in the username.
A crucial aspect of Twitter-Bieber mania is trying to convince Justin to follow you back. Unlike most celebrities who use Twitter like the rest of us do – following maybe 200-300 accounts that we actually read -- Justin follows over 122,000 people. He actually does follow back fans who request it. At least sometimes.
