if the internet is dead like Prince says, would using the internet turn Prince into a NETrophiliac?

I seriously think that Prince with all his bravado secretly sits there and scans every single thing that gets posted about him online. I'm sure he googles himself like 5 times a day and maybe even reads this forum thing.

"some dude is on twitter pretending to be prince. anyway, follow me on twitter, i'm new to twitter too."

U can't make this shit up even if you try!

Oh my gosh, can you get us the direct link? Has someone done this, and I've missed it? If so, I am sorry. @ school online, didn't have time to read all posts.

Thanx!

so... who is this dude and why so many people are following him and re-tweeting his crazy tweets?

He is not the real Prince. Prince would never tweet. He is not a looser to tweet. And other celebrities tweet because they need some publicity or promoting something or pushing their endorsements.

They are many Princes, I just fond one more @Prince__Nelson

I mean how else would he find all the YouTube stuff that gets pulled off every 2 minutes? And I doubt he has THAT many interns and assistants ruining their eyes for him.

On that note, Hi Prince!

how do u know it isnt him??

People are on twitter everyday, the same with yearbook, facebook, yomamabook... somebody's always trying to pass that mess on.... as if Prince would do any of those things! It's not like he wakes up in the morning and says... I wonder what Lenny Kravitz or P diddy tweeted today!! Let me check or my morning won't go for shit!

It ain't Prince but it's gotta be an Orger.

Which one of you is it?

prince_live is the real thing, his people twitting on his behalf , IMO

No, it's not.

Fact: Neither Prince nor anyone working for or with him have any presence on Twitter.

Don't believe that! Prince is no fool...he is very well connected on the internet. He is smart, he knows he needs to know what's going on and he keeps up with it. Prince knows alot from reading things online, including stuff on the org. He may say "the internet is dead" but that doesn't mean he isn't on there. He is, no one in his position isn't. He's on twitter, and he's on facebook, and he's on the org. He may not admit it, but he is. He wants to know what's going on just like everybody else. Anyone who thinks otherwise is just plain naive. This is the age of computers, Prince owns a laptop and probably spends a good amount of time on it.

Exactly. Prince is human, he wants to know what's going on in his world. And he has the right to be. He reads this site, or someone around him does. There have been posts of people associated with him. Wouldn't be that out of the question. His current and former band members/girlfriends also read/post. It's weird sometimes I'll get a really "suspect" email on here or on YT and read it to my sis and she always says "that's Prince writing that!" LOL She's joking, but the truth of the matter is, no one knows who he could/is on the org/facebook/twitter/etc.

Yep, because if Prince were ever to actually get a Twitter account he'd definitely use his real name, and one as cheesy as "knownasprince".

People are soooo gullible, especially psycho fans who either are caught up in the throes of wishful thinking and want their idol to be accessible to them, or those who are just...well, not that bright, and there are lots of other people who will jump at the chance to exploit that gullibility.

He's following one person: McHammer. As if... hahaha.

Maybe it's McHammer himself. That would make more sense.

Are there really still people out there who believe this Twitter is actually Prince? Yeah. Prince, who goes out of his way to be as cryptic and mysterious as possible whenever possible, would take a name like KNOWNASPRINCE as his Twitter account name.
