Hi all, sorry we have not been able to post for a bit things have been really hectic, but were back now and just to get the ball rolling, I saw this brilliant post by Ashe over at IT Bloke, http://www.itbloke.net and thought it was very relevant at the moment so have a read and see what you think, maybe hiring a Limo may give you enough privacy to prevent somthing like this happening, over to you Ashe.
OR ~ AK A THE END OF THE ROAD FOR THE TRUE ROCK AND ROLL LIFESTYLE.
Hi all, following on from my recent post, ( Ignore Social Media at your own Peril: http://www.itbloke.net/?p=522 ) , I have finally come to the conclusion that although I personally think that the rise of Social Media Marketing and real Citizen Journalism is a brilliant thing, I think it really will be the end of the true rock and roll lifestyle for many, Rock, Rap and Country super stars and to be fair all celebs in general, LOL.
Personally I can’t wait until the first allegedly squeaky clean and god fearing country singer in total disgrace, as he gets caught on Camera Phone snorting some illicit Drug or propositioning a much older shady lady of the night, would you not simply love to be a fly on the wall and watch the expression on his face as he suddenly realises that the media of the event went viral all over the worlds social networks in less than ten minutes of it being made.
Yet another angle we have to consider is, the ever growing mass of famous people who are now making real gaffs usingTwitter, and to be honest they are making these gaffs with good reason, Twitter to the un-educated seems, to be fair, well, really quite innocuous, I mean 140 characters what harm could that possibly do.
New Tool Brings New Mistakes
Most would argue that the micro-blogging site that has attracted millions of users, including celebrities and politicians, is a powerful tool for communication. But it’s amazing how much trouble that 140 characters can cause in reality and I predict we have worse to come.
Just like hitting “reply all” instead of sticking with the simple “reply,” one errant Twitter message available for all with an Internet connection to see, can send its author ducking for cover.
“While Twitter is a new tool that brings with it some new possible ways to make mistakes, people make mistakes in all of the different communications we already have,” said Sarah Milstein, author of “The Twitter Book” and social media consultant (she was the 21st user of Twitter). “What makes Twitter different is that the messages are public so that anyone can see them.”
Like a blog, Twitter is public but, unlike a blog, the messages, photos and links can easily be re-tweeted or passed along virally to other users, she said. That combination means that regrettable postings can be sent far and wide and then, to make matters worse, easily searched for on Google.
“Be thoughtful about your posting, be interesting, because Twitter is a medium where people choose to get your message,” Milstein said. “If you’re thoughtful about your individual messages, it also helps to take a step back when you’re doing something potentially inflammatory or that you may regret later.”
The question I have to ask here is; how long before someone really famous, like Cheryl Cole, (she of The X Factorhttp://xfactor.itv.com/2009/ and Girls aloud fame) Ashley Cole, Jordan aka Katie Price, Simon Cowell or god forbid Bruce Forysth, ( he off Strictly Come Dancing Fame, http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/ ) drops a real gaff, (lets not forget Cheryl Coles Racist attack in Guildford) or are they now at least intelligent enough to leave twittering and tweeting in the twitterverse to either a social media conscious PR Agent or WOM promotion companies, obviously.
Also with the rise of the Citizen Journalist and Social Media Connected, Camera, Smartphones, ( See my article on: Smartphones & Social Networks are making the classic Web and intranet obsolete http://www.itbloke.net/?p=486 ) I predict that within a year or so, celebs will really have to watch what there doing as there whole life will then truly be under constant scrutiny, and the slightest mistake they make, verbally, visually or otherwise will be broadcast around the world in seconds possibly ending there career.
So from here on in muscicians and celebrities alike will now have to think oh so very carefully about everything that they say, do and of course post, (in fact every single aspect of there lives), and never ever again know who they can really trust, in fact this will in theory force them to live a very sterile lifestyle and isolated existence even more that they already do, and well to be fair, “THAT’S NOT VERY ROCK & ROLL IS IT NOW!” but hell the old saying go’s “there is a high price for fame” and now is the time the next generation of future celebs start paying “WITH THERE CONSERVATIVENESS”, or they will be repenting at their own leisure, LOL, Regards…..

Hey, Great post about Twitter. I think Twitter is going to be one of the better networks because of the fact that it is supported by so many industries. I also think when Twitter shows some of it’s new functions, returning traffic will go up to show the real growth of the network. Keep up the good work!
