Not all Tweeters wear trench coats, but it's an option.

So hot, that a few Tweeters with upwards of 24,000 followers have been featured in February’s Vanity Fair issue. And only one of them is an actress.

Of the six women featured, most were writers or marketing strategists, and gained their thousands and millions of followers by constantly tweeting. Every day and well into every night, these women might as well have their phones attached to their hands. But by Twittering interesting 140-character posts just about all the time and engaging with other users and followers, they’ve become Twilebrities. It means exactly what you think it means: a Twitter celebrity.

The article does point out the downside to all they do: they don’t receive a dime in terms of getting paid to actually tweet. In fact, even though Twitter is worth $1 billion, it has very little revenue and absolutely no profit.

But, with thousands to millions of followers, these women do gain exposure to whatever they’re tweeting about. And that’s the easiest way to market anything: tell people about something great, and they’ll be sure to tell others.

Side note: judging from the photo of these Twitterholics in Vanity Fair, tweeting consistently apparently gives you great gams. So, there’s that to gain from tweeting, too.
