It was a stealth stress test to prove everyone that whatever Twitter has been upgrading in their platform, it works. Back in the day, anyone with 10,000 or so followers was enough to crash Twitter after a popular post.
Now we have @aplusk with 1.2 million followers and @oprah has 381,000, both are getting RT continuously and Twitter seems to stay alive through most of it.
Oprah doesn't bring any value to Twitter (13 updates since she went live, and most of them are OMG IT ROX posts), except prove that Twitter can take the heat.
Compare this to a few weeks ago when Battlestar Galactica was still running and we consistently crashed the search with the #bsg hash tag. Or the Friday nights where it was taking a one-two punch from both #dollhouse and #bsg in a two hour period.

Do think Celebrities will use Twitter to measure their popularity?
Twitter was already gold. I guess I don't really care that Oprah joined Twitter. She can use it for her book club and other things like that and hopefully it'll make people feel a bit closer to her with only one degree of separation. I'll be waiting a few months to see if her Tweets are actually good enough for me to follow her, but at this point I have no plans t join her fan club.
