Twitter gave the fan, the stan and the voyeur something to talk about over and over again in the year year 2009. As more and more artists jumped on, they left more and more to converse about.
The social network was used in a number of different ways. Early adopters like MC Hammer made huge strides in both the business world and networking. Mistah Fab had an underground hit song about it. Jean Grae connected with fans, allowing them to see her personality. Some artists used it solely as a promotional tool. Some used it to get their “side” of the story. Some used it as their own form of media. Others still used it for beef and humor.
