    Once Twitter joined Oprah's show, it officially became mainstream. Since joining Twitter, she has managed to reach almost half a million followers, which is a rather extraordinary feat and allows her to extend her reach beyond television. Oprah's introduction to Twitter will help the micro-blogging company double its size within a few months. In other news, Britney Spears is about to surpass CNN's number of followers.
