Can a normal bloke (i.e me) get more followers on twitter than a celebrity? It seems like an impossible mission but there's a very good reason for seeing if something like this is possible. You can help too by following me.

When I joined twitter, celebrities and 'normals' (as we are known) were on an equal footing. We could send them messages, they would reply and intelligent discussions were had by all. Stephen Fry being one of the best for twitter etiquette and always following back and sending nice messages to all he can.

Then a change happened. Celebrities caught wind of the tool as a way to blast messages to people all at once. They joined in their waves, parked their accounts, and let people folow them without offering any follows in return. Ashton Kutcher being one of the worst offenders by following less than 100 people despite his million followers.

Some celebrities even refused to even ackowledge any replies, posting only bland posts about their brand. Oprah only writes about her show or products she wants to promote, heck for months her account has thousands of followers and not a single message.

Then came the ghost accounts. People paid to post on behalf of celebrities. If you read BritneySpears you aren't really talking to her, just a public relations writer pretending to be her. Fair enough have PR people tell us what you're up to, but pretending to be you? Things have gone too far.

So I set upon a quest. To even the score and prove that whatever celebrities can do, we the public can do better.

I setup a new account MoreThanCelebs to show that a normal bloke can achieve the same twitter response as a celebrity. Of course I have no platform to broadcast myself and no established name to reply on so a million followers for me will be harder to achieve but that's the aim.

So if you want to even the score between celebrities and the public on twitter, and more importantly get them talking to us in the right way follow MoreThanCelebs, drop me an @ and spread the word. More updates to come as things snowball.

P.S Stephen Fry keep up the good work.
