But when he’s now following 10,000 peeps, you’re telling me that wasn’t a publicity stunt?

Celebrities need/want people talking about them. What better way then saying you’re leaving Twitter. It got her some buzz, but in a week no one will be talking about it. What’s the ROI on that?

Here’s a question: why are people doing this with Twitter? Notice that she didn’t leave Facebook. What does this say about Twitter and what does it say about Facebook?

In the end, I don’t think this has any value or impact for her. It won’t sell more records, it won’t sell more concert tickets. It’ll get her some press coverage, but it’ll die down quickly. 1 celebrity off Twitter, hundreds still on – no biggie.
