I remember back when Myspace was the big thing, and the thought of joining Facebook was stupid. Then I finally joined Facebook and loved it.
Then there was the time where Facebook was the big thing and Twitter seemed stupid. Now I’ve joined Twitter, and I LOVE it.
Social media has always been a way that celebs can connect with fans. Celebs have their own “official” pages on Myspace and the fan pages on Facebook, but there’s still a disconnect of sorts. There’s always that feeling it’s just updated by some PR person, and it’s being used as nothing more than another promotion tool.
I’m sure it’s that way with some celebs on Twitter, but Twitter is so easy to use it seems like more and more celebs post tweet updates themselves. This is awesome news for us Degrassi fans. Whether it’s Stefan Brogren tweeting while on the Degrassi set, or Lauren Collins telling us where she’s headed for dinner, there’s nothing cooler than seeing a Degrassi star tweet about their activities during the day.
Wait a minute…
…even cooler than that is when you tweet them, and they respond back (but at the same time don’t expect them to respond…they receive tons of tweets a day and it’d be overwhelming for them to try and reply to them all).
Scott Paterson and Melinda Shankar goofing off in a twitter video.
For me, it provides a greater appreciation for the Degrassi characters when you get to see the actor that plays them. Melinda Shankar (Alli) and Scott Paterson (Johnny) are hands down the two most entertaining Degrassi stars to follow on Twitter. I not only enjoy the banter between the two real-life best friends, but the videos Melinda posts on twitvid are goofy and fun. Since we only see them on tv it’s hard to fathom celebs doing “normal” things like us everyday people. However, Twitter allows us to see stars in a newer, more genuine light. It extends beyond what we see of them when they’re in character on tv, or in an interview on an entertainment show; It’s like you’re getting a sneak peak into their lives.

I’m a really big fan. I talk about degrassi every single day. My Fav season, 8 lost in love. Only because Johnny (Scott Paterson)N Allie (Melinda Shankar) were dating. Why did they have to break up?
I know everyone’s birthday and real name.
