It's been a long time since America has seen such a hotly contested and tight election. The mind wanders back to the heady days of 2000; to hanging chads and protests outside of Florida civic buildings. Well, folks, it looks like happy days are here again: Lady Gaga has just barley edged out Britney Spears (and Barack Obama and Justin Bieber), to become the Queen of Twitter.
That's right, Lady Gaga is actually the most followed person on Twitter. Back in July, we noted that Gaga had hit the 5 million follower mark, putting her a couple hundred thousand Twitterers behind Brittles in the follower race. But today she pulled ahead of Spears, accruing to 5,741,000 to Britney's mere 5,703,000.
As they say in the journalism biz: the situation is fluid! You never know when they sleeping giant that is Britney Spears could awaken.
Fluid situation or not, Gaga is taking her title rather seriously. The Queen of Twitter released a video, addressing her constituency, thanking "all my beautiful little monsters for following me and claiming she would "never to partake in celebrity online shenanigans." Meet the new queen, not quite the same as the old queen.
