How to get stars to respond to you on Twitter

December 29th, 2009 | Author: Paul

I was tickled by this wonderful tweet from Stephen Fry on Boxing Day:

@jesmmifs Oi! Are you not aware that clay pigeons are NOT REAL BIRDS!!!!!!!! They are little discs made of clay!

Intrigued, I took the trouble to thread back to the original comments on this which were, from @stephenfry:

http://twitpic.com/vbrg1 – Went clay pigeon shooting today. Such larks. F-f-f-freezing though.

The linked picture on Twitpic is worth looking at, by the way – quite beautiful. And then @jsemmifs responded:

@stephenfry pigeon shooting? That’s not cool!

…Which then elicited the gorgeous reply from the Great Fryster at the top of this post. Judging from his tweets since, @jsemmifs has spent the last few days on Cloud Nine after getting a response tweet from such a stellar personage.

Omg, Omg, OMG!!! @stephenfry responded to one of my tweets!!! Can I say STAR-STRUCK?! Best thing that happened to me all day! :D

So, now you know how it’s done. Wind them up a bit. And it helps if you are genuine about it.

"There is a refreshing frankness to the musings of Liberal Burblings which single this blog out. The ability to not mince one's words is highly prized here and, when combined with the ability to profane without insulting the reader's intelligence, is excellent. Whether pondering on the state of the Lib Dems, the country or the world at large, you can rely on Liberal Burblings to tell it like he thinks it is." - www.politics.co.uk
