Earvin “Magic” Johnson has finally joined Twitter. He’s sent 3 tweets so far and his account does display the Verified badge. He has amassed 30,915 followers since his first tweet about 17hrs ago and is following 35 people who mostly seem related to sports somehow. He has been using the celebrity-focuse Who Say service to tweet.
Magic was just named Chairman of Vibe Holdings LLC as part of an investment deal including Magic Johnson Enterprises and Ron Burkle’s The Yucaipa Companies. As part of that announcement, Magic was quoted as saying “We will redefine Vibe Holdings as the center of influence for the coveted urban audience.” Given that a large portion of that audience is on Twitter and other social media sites, it’s logical that Magic would need to pay a visit.
Follow @MagicJohnson and give him a warm welcome.
