Social Media - Money for your name


The People using Twitter and various other social media sites is forever growing and this post is talking about how everyday people are being offered a lot of money by celebrities and big companies simply for their username. With twitter being a relatively new social media site compared to Facebook the problem is most celebrities are only joining now its becoming more popular which leaves the problem that everyday people that were using it from day one already have taken their name either on purpose for a fan page or simply because they have the same name as a celebrity. But the celebrity image wont simply allow them to add a 1 at the end of their name because that would be seem as second best and on their personal sites and branding wouldn't look as professional so instead they have turned to trying to payout the user some have reported to have been offered as much as $25,000 for their name. I feel this is just another sign of how the internet is becoming more influential and how the celebrity lifestyle is becoming more and more desired with young children using social sites and following their favourite celebrity from a young age.
