Oprah is a brand name.   Rarely do people become brand names.   She and her media empire has.   It just makes sense that Oprah would enter the Twitterverse at some point.  In April of this year, Oprah began tweeting.   Although I would not characterize her as a prolific twitter-er, there are some benefits to following her on twitter.   For example, she tweeted this recently before her big announcement about ending her daytime show: ”Big Day….tune in my tweet friends.”   She’s not Shaq in turns of providing humor and insight into her life, but she’s not completely boring like Barbara Walters either.   You can follow her at: http://twitter.com/Oprah.    Here’s the best of the limited tweets of Oprah so far:
