Imagine our surprise to learn that porn stars have a problem with Facebook deleting their profiles. (Okay, yes, we might have guessed.) So Twitter has become the default social networking platform for most XXX-rated working guys and gals who want to build a direct relationship with their fans online.

Pete Housley founded the company Porn Star Tweet, which provides a service that verifies and aggregates porn stars on Twitter as well as tweets about porn stars. In the past, he told The Daily Beast, he had to hustle to get porn stars to use Twitter. Now, he says, adult talent agents send new clients right to him–in 2010, he doubled the number of porn stars on his feed (it’s currently around a thousand actresses).

Housley says Porn Star Tweet tracks 990 porn stars who are followed by 9,140,066 users; the porn stars follow back 636,853 fans. On average, the stars tweet 6.7 times per day; seven percent of Porn Star Tweets contain a photo or video.
