After talking about Twitter on her show, Oprah has gathered a phenomenal number of Followers – 548,562 when I checked on 24 April and she’s only been a member for a week! Rather interestingly she’s only following 10 herself…
But Twitterers are not happy with her popularity on the site after thousands of new users joined to follow her, fuelling a rumour that the site was ‘slowing down’ due to the increased traffic. Twitter founder, Evan Williams, who appeared on Oprah the day she launched her feed, was forced to publicly deny the problem was caused by her profile. He told followers her arrival had a “huge effect” but his team “kept it under control”.
