A Random Thought:
I’ve recently converted from just a Facebooker, to a Blogger and now to a Twitter. I’m amazed at how powerful social media has
become. Music artists make use of MySpace as if it’s second nature now. But now there’s that Tweety Bird which in my opinion,
is slowly transforming the relationship between producer and consumer. I know this has been said before but I believe Twitter
has made that virtual relationship a little bit more real than surreal – I think it’s due to the fact that Twitter acts on random
bursts of thought and feeling, it’s more direct than Facebook or MySpace. I may be generalising but I think Twitter really makes
you go, “Oh wow, Britney Spears is actually just like any another person I’d meet, and she’s actually speaking to us.” That’s just a
little bizarre and scary. But at the same time I feel for celebrities. I think some of them crave for a sense of normalcy and reality
with the relationships they have with people and I think so far, Twitter allows that to happen – the line between the personal and
business blurs even more?
