    Wow...maybe I spoke too soon when I said speech-to-text programs would never dominate the web. Bromley might have been on the right track..

    I am a big pop music/culture nut. Always have been...probably always will be. So, when I really started thinking about social media and all its uses, I began to wonder...who out there uses social media to it's fullest potential. The answer was obvious. Lady Gaga! When I did a quick search on Lady Gaga and social media, I got a lot of hits. But I wasn't surprised. She is the master when it comes to sites like Facebook and Twitter. Yes, she is out there wearing meat dresses and making fun songs, but it's her presence on social networking sites that I feel has really catapulted her to super stardom. What do you all think?

    Here's a little video about Lady Gaga's online presence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMz7go8_ywA

    I'm not that familiar with entertainment and social media, but I do realize the powerful influence it has within that culture. After reading the article you posted, I was even more surprised! I like that fact that someone no one knows anything about has a chance to live their dream by these social sites. It almost makes it more fair instead of someone with just money becoming famous.

    i'm a pop music/culture nut, too! i love the contradiction of how gaga tries have such a detached, robotic stage presence (for example i read somewhere that she doesn't even want to be seen drinking water on stage so she doesn't appear human), yet she is so accessible through facebook and twitter, and makes her anti-bullying campaign relatable with personal examples. she definitely found ways to use facebook and twitter to her advantage, and has dedicated followers all over the world because of it. there's so shortage of content for fans to obsess over.

    http://images.nymag.com/images/2/daily/2011/05/12_v_gagaletter.pdf For your perusal. Gaga compares herself to librarianship.

    that's amusing. but naturally, not everyone would agree: http://blog.libraryjournal.com/annoyedlibrarian/2011/05/18/five-ways-lady-gaga-is-not-a-librarian/ actually this article^ should annoy librarians more than gaga's piece, in my opinion. also, this is the video the article references.....i highly suggest watching it if you haven't seen it already. a friend sent it to me when i got accepted into the program...i didn't know whether to be excited or frightened about what i'd just gotten myself into... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_uzUh1VT98

    hmm. is it gaga or her p/r team creating the image? Is her voice really hers? How do we know?

    I am sure it is more her "team" then her herself. But, still...it's rather impressive.

    Is technology promoting free speech or helping dissidents in controlled countries? "We see more and more people around the globe using the Internet, mobile phones and other technologies to make their voices heard as they protest against injustice and seek to realize their aspirations," Mrs. Clinton said. "There is a historic opportunity to effect positive change, change America supports," she said. "So we're focused on helping them do that, on helping them talk to each other, to their communities, to their governments and to the world."
