Serious question: Why does Twitter need people connected in Hollywood?

• pbreit 14y ago
  Uh...because Hollywood is by far the biggest category of twitter traffic?

    By what metric? Sorry, I know I'm being dense, I just don't see Hollywood stuff in my feed very often at all. And if Twitter is talking up Hollywood, doesn't that mean Hollywood needs Twitter more than Twitter needs a board member with connections into Hollywood?

      A lot of famous people are on Twitter and some have rather large followings. Many interact with their fans daily (rather than just pushing out announcements). I thought that this was one of the big draws that brought more average people to the platform. Not only this, but with respect to news media outlets, a number of their reporters/talking heads have active Twitter accounts. Also, just because Hollywood can benefit from Twitter doesn't mean that they are going to show up at their door begging for a deal.
