Orso Scontroso rounds up the Twitter feeds of some popular porn stars and industry insiders
As tablet computers and more powerful smart phones have proliferated in recent years, there’s been a shift in the way that people consume information. Blogs are still popular, but Twitter seems to have become the dominant place for people to share information about their daily lives and for companies to disseminate PR. As the pace of modern life gets faster, people are relying more on the succinct, bite-sized chunks of information that Twitter feeds provide. Twitter’s ability to point out the connections between people has also made a lot of behind-the-scenes porn industry folks into public figures in their own right. In the Twitter age, everyone gets a voice – and the most interesting ones inevitably rise to the top! This month we’ve put together a fun sampler of Twitter accounts featuring a mix of porn stars and behind-the-scenes professionals from some popular gay adult studios and websites. After that, we’ll take a look at some popular blogs that cover the gay porn industry.
