For those who haven't seen yet...

A blog about Prince's social media presence over the course of the UK hit (queue) 'n' run gigs:

I dont think he is very good as twitter.

I think he has absolutely very little input in any of it

I disagree. He even admitted to tweeting on Arsenio. Its him almost ever time posting. Besides, since when did Prince have very little input on anything attached to his name?

I don't recall him saying anything of the sort.

When Arsenio started to talk about the internet he said "you have an instagram now and twitter..." Then he made mention of Prince's first selfie that Prince posted to which Prince said, "yes, that was me".

He 'admitted' to just that one instance then. Nothing more, but people will insist on jumping to conclusions base on precisely nothing at all.

You don't honestly believe that do you...Prince sat at the computer publishing rave reviews about his own shows? It's a 3rdeyegirl promotional tweet feed run by somebody/a team most Definetely not including any of the band members who all have thier own Twitter accounts...apart from Prince

"This was a utilisation of modern media, the like of which has not been seen before,"

Are they serious?

They say there is no prior art like this instance.

Did they forget the rest of the world?

The 'net has been there a few years before 2014, as were the spheres of twitter and the like.

You cannot say with a straight face that it has never before been done better.

.

It's just that the fans pick up this stuff sooner as they are more greedy in P's case.

So it is not so much a feat as luring the average music lover into following the tweets and getting them to the gigs, but more like notifying the slightly more hard core fans to start queueing.

I think you'd be surprised. Its not hard to believe really. To each their own.

GoldenParachute said:

Indeed, however I very seriously doubt that Prince is physically sat at a keyboard sending the Tweets himself....but if it's nice to think the man is retweeting your comments and gets to see every "I love you", "you're a genius"etc then where's the harm eh?!

Pssst...he's not though

Ppenguin said:

I dont have a twitter so I could really give a hell about any of all that, which I have no idea what youre talking about anyway saying my tweets being retweeted.... Uh, ok?
Theres more evidence to prove that it is him tweeting by his own admission then there is of your assumption that hes not. Just because its past your believability, dont mean its true. Prince is human too. And you better believe if he puts his name behind something, that hes going to have the all seeing eye in it. But whatever, this is boring me. Believe what ya want

GoldenParachute said:

Oh, I didn't mean you personally about the retweets but every t
3rdEyegirl tweet is met with instant "I love you Prince", "Please follow me".

To the best of my knowledge Prince has only said he's taken a selfie (which doesn't actually show him). I think it's just a promotional twitter account much like he probably isn't personally manning the website helpdesk. I'd be curious to know, if it is him, who he passes responsibility onto whilst he and the band are on stage and the Tweets are still flying out. Who knows, if it is him then he's nuts because he keeps referring to himself in the third person.

"if it is him then he's nuts because he keeps referring to himself in the third person." Sounds about right

I can't decide if I think it's him or not. I kind of do think it is because the tweets are so bad. lol Random pictures and links with no explaination of what it might be at all. The rave review links, I can totally see him doing that..

I do think Princestagram is him, at least for now. He wasn't talking in 3rd person from what I remember and on one of the pics he captioned it "1st day on Instagram...this is fun!" (Which was so cute but he quickly edited it to say "1st day on instagram...to b continued")
