A month ago, after attracting 2 million followers, Miley Cyrus issued her last tweet. With great fanfare and a YouTube-produced rap video, she listed her reasons for quitting the popular micro-blogging site, noting in verse, "I started tweeting about pimples, I stopped living for moments, and started living for people."
Fortunately for fans of the burgeoning social media world, Cyrus’ defection hasn’t inspired a mass exodus among music stars. They still see Twitter as a great way to hawk wares and connect with fans. Moreover, some stars have proven as adept at tweeting as they are at creating tuneful gems.
