I'm not an Oprah watcher, but she certainly doesn't need to use Twitter to market herself, she's already a household word. But she's made a brand out of her way of helping people help themselves. She she can use it to perpetuate that image for sure. Thanks for this Jeff – good introduction for those of us brand new to Twitter and trying to figure out what all those symbols mean!

It's too bad that such a simple service needs a "twitter for dummies" manual, but where there's money to be made.... It'll be interesting to see new uses people have found for Twitter in a couple years. Nice post Jeff.

I think she will have someone else tweet for her unless she has really absorbed the essence of what Twitter is and intends to put the time into it. She already interacts with her fans... through her show, her web site and her magazine and more. I could, of course be entirely wrong and she might be on Twitter every day tweeting, retweeting, finding cool links, following people with the intention of interacting on them, you know engaging... and not talking about things like... book recommendations and Oprah show. But she'd have to devote a lot of time to it. Oprah doesn't need to worry about marketing, as your restaurant examples do. The sheer amount of posts and Tweets about her joining Twitter and bringing millions of new users is a PR dream...as if she needed it. Oprah IS news (her joining Twitter proved it - again). And Twitter does not need to start relying on celebs to bring traffic - it was around long before the celebs finally got around to discovering it. Here's what Oprah could do... have a chat with Stephen Fry... a celeb who knows how it's done and does it. <abbr><em>Nicky Jameson’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Nickyjameson/~3/g7Ox26-sS0E/" rel="nofollow">Top 25 Social Networking Sites: Facebook Still Leads</a></abbr></em> Sorry Jeff, but I have hard time believing Oprah has any intention of using Twitter in manner of how Twitter should be used.
