You Can No Longer Fan Individual American Idol Contestants

If you’re a fan of American Idol and like to interact with this season’s contestants digitally, it’s too late. Fox, broadcaster of the popular reality show, pulled a social media switcheroo and are not continuing with having individual Twitter, MySpace and Facebook accounts for each contestant.

You can no longer follow individual Twitter profiles or become a member of a Season 9 contestant’s Facebook Page. Now, if you do want to do all sorts of fan-like things (sending perosnal notes or congrats, talking trash) at the Official American Idol 9 Contestant pages (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace).

Why would Fox do this? On the one hand, it makes sense for managing social media channels.
