I follow a lot of people on Twitter and occasionally will send a "tweet" out to a famous person with no response (obviously).
One day, I sent out a general tweet to everyone following me and said "Is it sad that I send out tweets to Rob Thomas in the hopes that he responds?"
About 5 minutes later, Rob Thomas tweeted me back, "So sad "
I almost fell out of my chair haha
If you don't know who Rob Thomas is, he is the lead singer of Matchbox 20, plus has a huge solo career. He has written some of my most favorite songs in the 90's and 2000's.
Anyway, that was my famous Twitter story.
Anyone else get a famous tweet?
that's a great story! he's a talented man
Well, writer Paulo Coelho thanked me for retweeting a quote.
Lots of artists, musicians, broadcast celebs, but one is Karl Rove, who re-tweeted me by sending a message that said: Tnx. It is the encouragement of people like you that will keep me writing and speaking on behalf of the conservative cause. I thought that was really nice of him.
that must have pleased you no end, no i cannot say anyway famous has ever contacted me in any way at all......
Wow, Rob Thomas is probably one of the best composers of our time. Big fan=)

Is there anyway I can reply to the message through hubpages, so when they next login to hubpages they can see my reply? Or is sending messages completely separate to hubpages? (I note that when...

I'm posting this in the "Report a Problem" area because it could pose a problem for fellow hubbers. I first noticed something strange two days ago. I got a direct Twitter message from a fellow hubber that I don't normally talk to. It was a message asking me if this was...
