The best fictional characters to follow on Twitter
That little blue bird turns nine today, so we're celebrating by following the best fake accounts, from Lord Voldemort to Batman...
Happy ninth Birthday, little blue bird! Can you believe humans have been exploring the Twittersphere for nearly a decade? That’s 3,287 days of breaking news, cat pictures and perhaps best of all – when real humans are a bit boring – fictional Twitter accounts from our favourite on-screen characters…
So on Twitter’s ninth birthday, here are the best fictional tweeters…
Lord Voldermort (@Lord_Voldermort7)
Why is he worth following? For his dark spin on pop culture…
The dress is clearly green and silver.

Correction: that one was the 100th.

This is the 101st.

103, sorry. Which makes this one 104.

Bender (@Bender)
Why is he worth following? Sometimes we need to hear the cold hard truth, and Futurama’s Bender will certainly provide that. He’s sarcastic, cocky and very cool. He’s the James Dean of robots. And social media.
ASS Just checking to see if I’m still a walking bomb that could blow up the planet, don’t mind me.

We all have days like this…
Wow, I thought my enemies sucked yesterday. Then today happened.
— Bender (@Bender) January 21, 2015
As we said, brilliantly cocky…
Remember that time I became human and lived more in a day than you all do in a lifetime? I still do that every day as a robot.

Happy birthday, Twitter!
