Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Adele, who is sidelined by vocal cord hemorrhaging and subsequent microsurgery, sent her first two tweets this week. The global pop star’s inaugural tweet on @OfficialAdele — which has been around since August 2010 but managed by other people until a few days ago — urged fans to follow charity @drop4drop or else she would refrain from tweeting ever again. She promised to “start tweeting” if the charity’s account reached 10,000 followers. Unsurprisingly, that call to action didn’t take long for fans to do, prompting Adele to issue this jam-packed second tweet that includes a link to a photo of her imitating Beyonce’s “Live at Roseland” poster. More celebrities are using Twitter (see gallery below) to boost their online presences or help their social initiatives. After surpassing 100 million active users earlier this year, Twitter has attracted a grab bag of well-known users such as former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Facebook president Sean Parker and The X Factor judge Simon Cowell, to name a few. Adele has had an eventful year that has taken a strain on her vocal chords, and she may be turning to Twitter in order to get her voice heard as she heals from a November throat surgery.

Sound off in the comments. @simoncowell TV personality and music executive Simon Cowell is Twitter’s newest celebrity. Cowell, who became a household name in 2002 as the brutally honest judge on American Idol , used his first tweet on Nov. 16 to pimp the U.S. version of The X Factor for which he's a judge. Since then, he has argued with @PiersMorgan , live-tweeted about his X Factor finalists (while dissing other contestants as well as fellow judges) and shared random thoughts just like most Twitter users do.
