Stevie Tweets Now
 
http://twitter.com/stevienicks

It would be nice if Stevie was actually tweeting.....It takes all the fun out of it to know it is that assistant of hers (Karen) and she has has zero personality.

mezzoforte 03-28-2011 08:59 AM

I know it's unlikely, but some of the tweets have been so odd I've wondered if it actually is Stevie.

Artemis 03-28-2011 09:15 AM

I like to think that it is Stevie, otherwise they're portraying her as... quite deluded :laugh:

Although, that woman has more personalities than she has fingers :laugh:

reebokandlace 03-28-2011 09:17 AM

Really....it's Karen.

jellyman10 03-28-2011 09:19 AM

I really don't think it's her. I think they came up with this bonkers persona so that Stevie has deniability when she gets asked a gazillion times over the next month 'So I see you're on Twitter? I thought you hated all that?' And she can go, 'Well, that's not me. That's my assistant, Karen, and anyway we're only doing it to shift units, which is why you'll observe that what we tweet is vacuous and demented. We don't believe in it. We don't think we can, y'know, build any actual relationships this way with, for example, my fans. Oh no. And anyway, your hair's on fire and I really have to ...' **grabs handbag and scarpers**

Jondalar 03-28-2011 09:37 AM

I am not a tweeting expert. I have replied to her several times and yet, it has never shown up on the main page. In a way, it's kind of creepy-strange what they have done, and very cool.

UnitingNations 03-28-2011 12:07 PM

It is not actually Stevie Nicks, nor her personal assistant.

If a said celebrity is the one actually doing the tweeting - there is a "blue authentification" checkmark on the main twitter page and it will say verified account.

Look at twitter.com/charliesheen.

Celebrities who endorse or use twitter whether it be them or their staff verify their accounts for legal reasons.

someone should tell the guy who occasionally updates her official website to remove the link

that's where i saw it

jellyman10 03-28-2011 12:19 PM

^^^ Twitter itself said last year that the absence of a verification stamp was not a reason to believe that an account was inauthentic. It strikes me that if this is Karen, then not asking for or even knowing about verification is entirely consistent with the SN camp's cluelessness about social media.

Interesting that the account's only follow is Dave Stewart, too. That's a cute touch, if it's really nothing to do with Stevie's people.

Yes that is so true!!!!! I've read some of the tweets like....wtf!?

I've hear it takes forever to get verified. Probably the only reason they verified Charlie so quickly was because he got 2 million followers in like a week and they're making money off of that as well.

fumidesigns 03-28-2011 01:51 PM

I want to be verified but it takes 75k+ in order to be. Everyone follow me please...... www.twitter.com/fumidesigns

MacMan 03-28-2011 02:08 PM

It's not Stevie or Karen directly... It's Warner Bros.

daniellaaarisen 03-28-2011 02:17 PM

I will not believe that account is real until it's verified. Celebrity twitter accounts are given blue checkmarks when they have been officially cleared as a "real" account. Stevie's hasn't been yet, and her official YouTube station (http://www.youtube.com/stevienicks) advertises her Facebook and the NicksFix but NOT the Twitter.

I still think the person behind the account is in no way affiliated with Stevie.

True, I've heard this as well. That being said, what evidence do we have that this IS a legitimate twitter? Any one of us could've bull****ted the tweets coming from that account. About MSG, all of it.

Maybe Charlie Sheen is tweeting for Stevie?

Well stevie DEFINITELY has tigerblood in her so that wouldn't surprise me! #teamtigerblood lmaoooo

J.Miller 03-28-2011 04:30 PM

Oprah can't see me
 
I am going to be in minority and say that this is Stevie's doing or someone close to her. The first tweets started right at the time the sizzle reel was released. The cadence in all text is all very Stevie Nicks. If it is fake the person doing it needs to be strung up. I rather be a fool and believe than not.

APerfectLie 03-28-2011 05:57 PM

This is for sure WB or someone in Stevie's camp. Do you guys really think the username "stevienicks" was available and just so happened to be updated and released the same time as her official YouTube and Facebook sites and someone managed to get the new background the same day as her youtube and facebook and are mentioned on the Nicks Fix, yet they are not legit?

That's exactly what I think, it has to be official alright :nod:

I have no doubt that the Annabelle Lee is official. I just wish they had something pertanent to say. Sounds like a person tweeting to a group of five year old. We are much, much older than that. We don't need hand puppets or Annabelle Lee. I mean its endearing but that twitter acct is barely worth following.

SapphireSister 03-28-2011 06:15 PM

I keep seeing the title of this thread as "she pees now" because you know, Stevie doesn't pee, or fart, or take a dump or anything because she's not really real. :shocked:

MacMan 03-28-2011 06:31 PM

It's legit... It's one of the community managers for Warner Bros. who also looks after her youtube and myspace presents.. The twitter acct. is linked to from her myspace page... Not sure why youtube doesn't.

jellyman10 03-29-2011 04:50 AM

Reasons to believe it's from SN's camp:
Timing of when it started
Link to the Nicks Fix
That it only follows Dave
The use of a persona that gives Stevie a way to say 'That's not me' in 'I hate the internet' mode
General air of not being properly thought through

Reasons to believe it's not from her:
It's not a verified account

So I'll say it again: Twitter itself says absence of verification doesn't mean an account is fake, it can take ages to happen (and costs money), and last of all, these people don't have a clue what the hell they're doing or how to use this thing properly.

I 'do' Twitter and I don't like this account at all. It's juvenile and half-engaged. It also bugs me hugely that it doesn't even follow half a dozen accounts that have been doing Stevie's PR for free out of nothing but love for the best part of a year (they know who they are, but I can list them for anyone who's interested).

Such a shame Stevie dug herself this Internet-hating pigeonhole that means she has to eat humble pie if she tries to now use it properly. Gah.

UnitingNations 03-29-2011 04:56 AM

Twitter is *very* on top of their accounts when it comes to celebrity users.

If it's not a verified account, it's probably no where remotely linked to the Stevie Nicks camp.

They have a whole department of staffers which "takes care of this."

jellyman10 03-29-2011 05:11 AM

^^^ That's kind of half-true. They're 'on top' of celebrities whose entry onto Twitter causes a stir. That doesn't really apply to SN. And I promise you, there was definitely an account being run by someone from Warners a month or so ago (I'm not sure if this is the same one) and that wasn't verified either. We had the woman's name and even a photo. She was, as people have said, a communities manager.

So that was definitely related to Stevie's camp and definitely not a verified account. It happened. ;)

Edit: This is what I think they call 'the clincher': please go check for a verification stamp on @davestewart ..... Go on. :p

in the first post i added the link that I found on NicksFix. com... so as I posted earlier, maybe someone should contact the guy who occasionally updates her official site

this is it

Well, the most recent tweet was the night after MSG:

Quote:

3/27 6:10PM

"I wrote in my journal last night that I'm playing madison square garden & I better be really good" Stevie's first words to audience.
I think it's Karen. I think it's improbable that a lowly peon from WB would be in attendance at MSG and twittering... but then again, it is New York... :shrug:

skcin 03-29-2011 12:44 PM

It's so Karen. :D Maybe Stevie's dictating to her, but you know damn well Karen's doing the actual tweeting.

Is Corey Buckingham hanging around these days? Just curious.

fumidesigns 03-29-2011 01:06 PM

Well all I know is......she needs to tweet more! I wanna read random siht on a daily basis! I wanna read "just woke up and my back hurts" lol! Just random! And I want karen to tweet folks back! Lol

J.Miller 03-29-2011 02:58 PM

All I want is for Stevie to stay classy with this.And to keep us hungry for more.I wonder if Stevie has an endgame to all of this.

chriskisn 03-29-2011 07:33 PM

actually I was following those tweets but they are such pointless drivel that I have stopped. :lol:

LOL are you kidding ? That would be GREAT. I always said Stevie is the one person i would love to get drunk with. Could you imagine the secrets we'd find out ? Alcohol is, after all, truth serum ! :nod:

So so true!!! Ok someone teach this woman to tweet and then give her a bottle and some ice!!!!

mdakd 03-31-2011 02:41 PM

Stevie's Twitter is just getting weird....
 
This whole "Annabel Lee" thing is getting weird, even for Stevie.

I realize Karen is probably behind all of this this, but Stevie really approves of these wacky posts? I hope this is just a phase.

Here are the last 3 tweets:

She was a child and I was a child in this kingdom by the sea – that’s where we met by the sea – we love the sea.
less than 20 seconds ago via web

Could that be a coincidence? Doubtful. Didn’t you study “Annabel Lee” in high school? Stevie set it to music.
14 minutes ago via web

Stevie teamed up with Edgar Allen Poe for the Annabel Lee song (my song) on the album.
17 minutes ago via web

What is going on? :shrug:

kak125 03-31-2011 02:47 PM

somebody probably hacked her account!!
