Twitter’s Most Engaging Celebrities [Stats]

Celebrities using Twitter is not a new phenomenon — it’s an increasingly common way for celebrities to promote new projects and connect with fans.

But how do celebrities use Twitter ? What’s the following/followers ratio? What is the sentiment for tweets involving celebrities? Brian Solis (FutureWorks) and PeopleBrowsr analyzed this information in his Twitter Celebrity Report for August 2009.

Some highlights:

She may have quit Twitter earlier this month, but actress/singer Miley Cyrus led celebrity Twitter mentions in August 2009, with an impressive 255,938 @mileycyrus mentions

Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk) had the most followers in August with 3,778,464 — but The Ellen Show (@theellenshow) wasn’t far behind, with just under 3.5 million.

Gossip Blogger Perez Hilton led total celebrity tweets in August with 1,488.

Britney Spears (@britneyspears) follows the most users with 432,814.
