Twitter was revolutionized At 4:47 pm on Feb 12th, 2011 with the following tweet:
"If u r watching private parts the general manager was really like this and that outdoor shot is the real radio station"
Howard Stern fans were treated to a completely unexpected and unplanned surprise this past weekend when hundreds of thousands of cell phones simultaneously started buzzing with the first tweet of the day from The King Of All Media... It was a "behind the scenes" comment from Stern that was sent as he was watching his movie on HBO.Over the next hour plus, Stern continued to elate his fans by tweeting detals of the movie, scene by scene. He spoke about the demeanor on the set, scenes that were edited, and many other insider tidbits that brought an entire fan base together all around the country to watch a movie on a Saturday afternoon. Throughout the movie, Stern also answered questions posed by his fans, and responded to their comments.
The importance of what happened last Saturday should not be underestimated. Simply by sending those 22 simple words, Stern has surely opened up the entertainment world's eyes to the power of the medium he only joined a few short days ago. Without even thinking about what he was embarking on, Stern created an entire interaction between celebrity and fan that will not be soon forgotten, and will surely be copied by many in the near future.
"The King Of All Media" has proven he is still just that. Well done Howard.
