Lady Gaga: Social networking scandal about to ruffle industry

Speaker Alan Grayerr warned about the abuse of social networking sites at the Los Angeles Social Network Club meeting a couple weeks back. He was specifically referring to businesses and entertainers using false Facebook and Twitter accounts to add to their following. This morning, it was revealed that Lady Gaga has several empty Facebook and Twitter followers.

All this creates a problem for the “Queen of Social Networks,” because her marketing team often touts the fact that Lady Gaga has a record amount of Facebook and Twitter followers. But many of these followers appear to be imaginary people.

On Facebook, some Mother Monster’s followers include such names as Jay Palms, John Doden, Louis Oriole (who happens to have a very similar name to a character in a Madonna video), and Alejandro Stefani. These names have no profile information, no pictures, or any other information. This doesn’t necessarily mean the names were created by Lady Gaga herself; it could be the creation of the same marketing people that decided to sell her album for 99 cents so it could compete in the marketplace. It could possibly be the work of Lady Gaga’s obsessed “little monster” fans.

It gets worse; some of these so-called Lady Gaga followers are with empty Twitter accounts as well. LouisOriole doesn’t seem to have any activity on his account with the exception of following Lady Gaga. In fact, Lady Gaga appears to have more empty Twitter followers than Facebook followers. What is happening here?

“Lady Gaga is dying in both hype and record sales,” says Los Angeles industry analyst Paul Mueller. “Having so many Facebook and Twitter followers is her one last claim to fame, so perhaps this was the only way to make it look like she is still popular.” However, Mr. Mueller doesn’t think Lady Gaga would be stupid enough to get caught doing this. “This is probably the work of her obsessed fans, but even I can’t be 100 percent sure. “

This is such ********. "Lady gaga is dying in both hype and record sales". Okay.

I can't find the lie.

Did they lie?

Nope

every celeb has twitter followers like that - it's people who want to try the site, follow their favorite band or musician but for some reason never tweet

anyway don't give that site attention, from their articles it's clear that all they want is visits and you're basically promoting it

That's a ki when Gaga is the most followed person on twitter.

And Born this Way will sell over 4 million WW in the next two weeks.

But then again it's "The Examiner" they don't like Gaga at all so it's expected.

Full of Scheiße!

Who isn't these days? I need some new bitches to snatch everyone

Me neither

Have you seen the 2nd best selling album of the year that's about to cross 4m worldwide?
Or The Edge of Glory which has made it into the top 5 recently. How are her sales dying?

She's doing much better than many other artists at the moment, this article is just hilarious

Well duh. You can't be at your peak forever.

Yes, they did.

Mhm.

Well it is true her hype has severely diminished. Her sales have naturally declined, but true. What is said within the article is true, though every artist has those. Where's the BS?

People aren't ready for The Lunatics!!! (Kat Deluna's Stan base)

Or BTW already ahead of newer albums.

Would The Examiner lie?

Her hype is rapidly dying.
