Thousands of people around the world are joining Twitter each day and you can now add Kenny Chesney to the list. The official Chesney Twitter account is twitter.com/kennychesney.

It will mainly be Kenny’s inner circle doing the tweeting as Kenny is a very busy man, but following him on Twitter will give you an inside look into the tour and the man himself. It’s a great tool for celebrities because they can send messages directly to fans and bypass the filter of the media.

You’ve no doubt heard of Twitter by now, but are you not sure what exactly it is? Here’s how it’s described by Wikipedia:

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length. Updates are displayed on the user’s profile page and delivered to other users who have signed up to receive them. Senders can restrict delivery to those in their circle of friends (delivery to everyone being the default). Users can send and receive updates via the Twitter website, SMS, RSS (receive only), or through applications on their computer and cell phones.

Apps are available for most smartphones, including BlackBerrys (I recommend UberTwitter) and iPhones.

Sign up for Twitter now. It’s free, quick, and easy. Once you are signed up and logged in, simply click here and then click Follow to add Kenny Chesney to your list of friends. No “tweets” have been sent out yet but we’re told that in the near future they will begin sending out updates.
