Many people DO care about the celebs and what they do, so when they promote and/or talk about Twitter, it drives more people to the service. So do you want more people on Twitter or not? Celebs bring more people on board, that's for sure.

Therefor ensuring that it will survive (get funded, whatever) so it'll be around for the rest of us to use. I'm not sure I fully buy that argument, but it did come to mind as someone who has fought inside his company to show the legitimacy of social media as a way to communications with others. Oprah lends a level of weight to the "old skool who doesn't know any better" more than say, you and me.
