In less than 24 hours, Charlie Sheen attracted more than 1 million followers on Twitter earlier this week. A few years ago punters would have had to wait for magazines to provide access to the latest tidbits about Charlie. Today, in 2011, you can be plugged in and reading his tweets live. Regardless of what you think about Charlie his achievement this week is extraordinarily and demonstrates the interest in the social media channels.
i like this charlie sheen story. sure he is taking drugs and paying for sex, but he isnt hiding it, and it doesnt get in the way of his job, which is acting in a very popular TV comedy. and this boost in profile is probably good for the shows ratings world wide.
but instead the tv exuctives cut the show, because they dont want to offend the general american public, of which there is a great number of them, taking drugs and paying for sex.
as far as magazines go…. its the sort of stuff that will sell NI and WD on monday, so keep on charlie, and have a good weekend.
in the words of charlie sheen “twitter is a cash cow” for me.
