5 Twitter Stars you've never heard of!

So i found this on CNN a while ago, and i thought this might be interesting for all the Twitteres and the ones that still have to discover it!

(CNN) -- Sure, everyone knows that Oprah, Shaq and Ashton Kutcher are huge on Twitter. They're famous -- they should be huge on Twitter.

But Heather Armstrong? John Dickerson? Adventure Girl? These people can stroll unmolested through a paparazzi convention, and yet each has more than 1.2 million Twitter followers -- enough to rank them in the top 200 overall and more than Stephen Colbert, Snoop Dogg or Paris Hilton.

To thrive on the popular micro-blogging site, celebrity isn't always enough. You also must have something to say.

"You can't be Moses shouting down the mountain on Twitter," says Brandon Mendelson, a blogger who has amassed almost a million Twitter followers. "You need to be that friend everyone wants to hang out with."

Here's a look at five Twitterers you may not have heard of. They don't show up in the tabloids or on Leno. But they have the power, through the viral effect of their retweets, to make things happen, and maybe even nudge the national conversation a little.

Che-

I think this is pretty interesting because its basically comepletly "normal" people that have something to say, and they just use a completly different channel. While some people write books and others make music these guys jsut Tweet, sure its not considered an "Art" but it does have an impact on millions of people as we can see!

Heres the Link for whoever wants to read more:

It's really incredible how people's life have been safed and changed thanks to Twitter, how 140 characters can express sooo much and make the difference!
