"twitter has popularized the idea of “following” people such as writers you like, and similar features like “subscribing” on facebook have shown up: we dont just follow a writer for their official Writing now, we follow them for their personal thoughts and updates too. we are interested in what they eat, what they do in their spare time, their political beliefs, the music they share.. we follow People. in the future it won’t be as important whether you are categorized as a “writer” or “musician” or something else, you will mainly be a Person, and people will follow you for being an awesome Person."
