Ronan Farrow, the quippy son to actor Mia Farrow and director Woody Allen, loves Twitter.
Off the strength of 140 characters, the 26-year-old has built a huge social media following and nabbed a news show on MSNBC. Ronan Farrow Daily, which launched Monday, encourages viewers to join the conversation via social media (thus far, the show has garnered lackluster reviews, primarily due to his hosting inexperience).

Though the show is a work in progress, Farrow's Twitter fame is concrete. He uses it to discuss controversial issues, particularly when they pertain to his personal life. He jokes about *possibly* being Frank Sinatra's son, and about his estranged relationship with his father.
Here's a briefer on Ronan Farrow, through his oddly transparent Twitter account.
