Today they can all rejoice, as there's now an official Twilight Twitter account [@Twilight]. Although unverified, the account appears to be legitimate, complete with tweets from director Chris Weitz.
The Twilight Twitter account has just over 6 hours of tweeting under his belt, but it already has upwards of 22,000 followers, and that number is rapidly rising every time we refresh the page. Of course once even more of the film's legions of fans discover the new Twitter account, you can expect that number to continue to grow exponentially.
Based on previous trending topics and heavily retweeted Twilight news, we don't think it's too much of a stretch to anticipate that the Twilight Twitter account will hit a million followers, or break the top 10, in record speed.
From today's updates alone we've already learned exclusive tidbits like the fact that final run time of The Twilight Saga: New Moon is 2 hours and 10 minutes. We've even been privy to a Twitter exclusive New Moon Twitpic (as seen above). Who needs Miley or her YouTube Twitter quitter rap? Twilight has arrived. And look out Ashton and Ellen, you may finally have a real challenger on your hands.
