Is Social Networking Effective For All Celebrities?

By Rob Sutter


Social networking, in my mind, stands as easily the most valuable tool that you could associate with the last ten years or so. I believe that it has grown into something that very few people could have predicted. What started as something as simple as a way for friends to keep in contact blossomed into something that even big businesses have taken advantage of. Hollywood has brought some of the most notorious figures into the light and it makes me realize if celebrities should be posting as much as they have been.

To put it simply, the words you put on any social networking page are ones that represent you. In essence, if you type something, it's most likely that it includes vernacular and speech patterns which are most like the ones you possess. For example, when I say something sarcastic, I don't mean it to be taken in a serious regard since it's simply my way of showcasing a more lighthearted side. Celebrities, like businesses, have to be careful about what they post, which companies the likes of fishbat may attest to.

Let's say that a business made a post about a tragic event; how exactly does it go about doing so? One of the fashions that can be taken up is to simply post condolences and nothing else; it may seem basic but I find it to be the best approach. What isn't such a great idea, though, is making the same post but then linking back to the company's website. It does nothing but show that it was simply a means to advertise when it should not have been done.

As far as celebrities are concerned, there are a number of Tweets that have been made that it shocks me when I see them with my own eyes. For example, Kanye West made a Tweet last year, saying that Kim Kardashian, "did not know what a blessing," he was to her. To say the least, it turned me off because it showed such a sign of ego that it's difficult to put into words. What I do know, however, is that it did nothing to help him in the public eye.

As you can see, social networking can be done well in the case of companies expanding their markets. It's clear that this has become such a great platform over the course of many years and I believe that businesses would be wise to get onboard with it if they haven't already. With these methods being done in the most effective ways imaginable, there are fashions which go to show that not everything is golden and certain celebrities have made this very clear. Their words are amplified many times through the Internet, as would be the case for anyone's.
