Lady Gaga Launches Social Site for Fans: Is She the Most Tech-Savvy Celeb?

There aren't many celebrities who can hold a candle to Lady Gaga's social media fan base. She has 47 million Facebook fans, 19 million Twitter followers, and well over a billion YouTube views. (That's right -- she hit one billion over a year ago.) But that's not enough. The "Born This Way" star is currently testing out her own social media site, Little Monsters, so that her fans can unite together in one freaky, fashionable location.

According to CNN, Little Monsters will function a bit like Pinterest, a relatively new social network that emphasizes image boards and visual media, encouraging users to share things that interest them instead of flaunting their personal lives and relationships all over the web, like a certain social network that won't be named.

Little Monsters is still in an invite-only beta phase, but Matt Michelsen, CEO of Backplane, who is developing the site, has high hopes. He explained, "Backplane is about bringing together communities and Gaga's community just so happens to be the community we're using to learn about proper functionality. We think we can really change the world." Do you think Little Monsters will succeed? And is Lady Gaga the most tech-savvy celeb out there?

    no, this sounds a heck of a lot like an official fan club which isn't that new of an idea, perhaps the setup of posting and sharing is different but still a fan club.

    So how does that make her the most tech-savvy celeb, hiring someone to design a new version of a fan club for her fans?

    When will she move her corporation overseas for tax sheltering? I don't follow this personality at all. What "charitable works" has she done with some of her money? I am not judging her badly if she hasn't as of yet- philanthropist's sometimes wait until they get older and then donate billions.

    Using social medial does not make one "Tech-Savvy" by any strech of the imagination. Further, nothing has indicated that she has done anything relating to any of the tech features mentined. At most, she could be a celeb who hires tech-savvy people.

    If I had her money I would hire someone too!! Honestly, how many people wouldn't do the same? I've heard alot of celebs say they don't know anything about computers, but as busy as these celebs are most of them don't have the time to stop and learn about it.
  • Jeffrey C Gloria February 10, 2012 04:56:03

    Exactly, and how exactly does doing that make HER the most tech savvy celeb when, still, SHE isn't doing any of it?
  • Gloria Jeffrey C March 15, 2012 17:37:49

    I didn't mean she was literally tech savvy!! I meant that she has the money to pay someone to do what ever for her and to teach her, I'm sure she is smart enough, look wheres she's at today!! And I praise her for that!! So if she isn't tech savvy, it wouldn't take long to teach her which is my assumption regarding her previous business dealings, which has been a success so far!

    Is this a joke? It's as if music sites are new. Deadmau5 is more tech savvy for sure, I engineer electronic music and instruments and know a lot of tech stuff. I've heard that deadmau5 programs some of his software tools. He probably isn't great at it but for sure he is more tech junkie than these kind of celebrities.

    Obviously she's not operating it- she's got money to pay for people to do that for her.

    Then wouldn't that make her marketing-savvy and not tech-savvy? I guess that depends on your definition of "tech-savvy".
