I had previously written an article called How to put stars and smileys in Twitter posts. I have been so busy that I really had not written much. I did notice today that people were starting to put a crown near their name. If you want to put any type of symbol near your name, the easiest way to do this is to just do a search of HTML special character codes. You should be able to find this easily. So for you Twitter royalty out there, here is are the HTML codes for crowns (based on chess pieces). Enjoy.

Just put an & before each # to make it convert to the symbol.
#9813; (White Queen)♕
#9812; (White King)♔
#9818; (Black King)♚
#9819; (Black Queen)♛

Everyone knows who the top Celebs are that are on Twitter, Right?  Lady Gaga with like 14 million followers and right behind her is Justin Beieber with about 11 million. What about other celebrities that you know, but did not know they were on Twitter. Because for what ever reason they are not "In your face" on the thing. I thought I would write about some of them and see if I can help them get some more followers. Hey, why not! Celebs, if your are out there, you need to help yourself by talking to the peeps. Social Networking is about being social, so you won't get any followers if you don't mention the fans once in a while.

Randolph Mantooth
@MantoothRandy HOLLYWOOD
Actor/Writer/Speaker http://route51.com

OK, remember this guy from Emergency!, I know you do. Randolph Mantooth is a speaker and advocate for firefighters. I never really thought about him, but my husband (FirefighterPhotos.com) always talks about him because he sees him at the annual Fire Chiefs' conferences. Anyways, Randy's only got about 700 followers right now and doesn't really answer his @ replies. If you are a fan he has made a little comeback on Sons of Anarchy this season.

Now you might be asking yourself, how do I know this guy? Some of you old dudes might remember a movie called "Cool Runnings" with John Candy about the Jamaican bobsled team. No, Devon was not it the movie, but he was one of the original members of the team that inspired the movie. Now Devon is a motivational speaker, author, and all around nice guy. He signed a copy of his book for my son. I found a copy of the movie in Wal-mart and had to pick it up so that when the kids get big they can watch it. I hope they still have DVD players in the future! Devon has about 350 followers and will hook you up with an inspirational message each day. Show some love and follow him.

Jeff Bridges Music @TheJeffBridges California, USA
Jeff Bridges (born December 4, 1949) is an American actor, musician, photographer, painter, sculptor, campaigner for No Kid Hungry and storyteller. http://www.jeffbridges.com.

Wow, Jeff Bridges surprisingly only has about 7,000 followers. He did take one important step that many other Celebs forget to do: get the account verified by Twitter. This way people know you are the real deal. Looks like he's got a new album and you can keep up with the new music and Jeff's guest appearances by following him on Twitter.

While we are at it let's not forget about Beau Bridges @BeauBridges1. His account is not verified by Twitter, but followed by brother Jeff, so that's good enough for me.

Tony Bennett @itstonybennett view full profile →

Nothing to say here: It's Tony Bennett! 6,000 followers, come on people, this guy deserves some followers.

Add a comment if you find some more Celebs we should be following!
