Lady Gaga is now the Queen of the Internet!

So Lady Gaga is bigger on the internet now than Barack Obama? But Gaga is in entertainment, while Obama is in the political arena. Lady Gaga`s attraction is a mystery, but is a reality that we must consider seriously. And now she is toppling Britney Spears on Twitter. The stats are staggering.

As of last Friday (August 20th), Spears had 5,659,701 followers on Twitter, and Lady Gaga had 5,655,299. THE LADY probably passed up poor Britney sometime that day. Gaga had gained 600,000 new followers just last month, while Spears had picked up a measly 200,000. In a slump, girl.

What`s doing it? Must be the Fame Monster Tour. Another factor is that Gaga dominates the music video scene too. Lady Gaga is a gifted musician and songwriter, but marketing on social media is her real forte. She has 16 million Facebook Friends. She`s the most powerful person in the world!

I have 190 friends on FB and will feel like a social media big shot when I bust 200, if that`s possible. Gaga ought to run for president of Haiti, not Wyclef Jean! I`m going to do some marketing research on Gaga to see if I can tap into her secrets. Understanding her PR Machine could be my ticket out of Dodge! For starters, check out her witty little Twitter video in the fairy queen get up. *(sources-CNN and YouTube)

Groom Twitters From Altar

“A Maryland groom has created an viral story storm after he interrupted his wedding last month to update his Facebook and Twitter accounts from the altar.
 
Dana Hanna, who works for a pet website, also posted a short video of the ceremony on the Internet. It showed him reaching into his pocket for his phone as the minister was about to pronounce the couple husband and wife.
 
The video has had more than 350,000 views.”

I update my Facebook account once or twice a week, and I post links to my articles on Twitter on a daily basis. But some folks update their Faceboook and Twitter accounts a gazillion times a day.
 
I really don’t need to know that one of my friend’s baby burped, or that my sister’s cat yawned. I don’t  wish to drown in the minutia of other people’s lives, I wish my pals would only update their social networking sites when they have important news to share.
 
Like a wedding for example, but they should wait until the ceremony is over before they update their Web sites. Dana Hanna is a nutjob, he cares more about updating his Facebook page, than he does about making his wedding a memorable day for his bride.
 
I have a feeling that in a couple of months Dana will be updating his Facebook page with this message: My wife just served me with divorce papers.
