Dale Earnhardt Shuns Twitter

As a Twitter-oholic, I never could quite understand famous people who refuse to use the site. After all, wouldn’t sites like Twitter and Facebook give them yet another way to connect with fans?

But when I read Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s take on things, I began to understand his point-of-view. He says, “There’s tons of imposters out there. I don’t have a MySpace, a Twitter or none of that (stuff). There’s a bunch of imposters out there though that you have to beware of. I really would never get into social networking.”

I guess I can understand that. Then again, I think that’s only a problem if you don’t work the site regularly. I know celebs like Ashton Kutcher and John Mayer connect with people via Twitter. What do you think? Would you enjoy interacting with some of your favorite sports figures online?
