Yeah, I see a couple who still have someone posting on them.

Someone is posting on Tom Petty’s Twitter account but I’m guessing he never posted there himself. Most of the tweets on Prince’s account came from Prince himself.

Someone's posting on Joan Rivers. None in Nimoy, Bourdain, Williams I guess never had one. There is one for MJ.
Some have tribute sites I guess.

Big no for me. Doesn’t seem right

No it doesn’t. It would be different had his Twitter account just been a PR account run by someone else but it wasn’t. Still not sure how the estate promotes this stuff though. Do they create Prince estate social media accounts? Do they use Paisley Park accounts?

the estateR Ha its own account for PRINCE...it was announced some while back especially on twitter...do a goodle search and you will find it. I havent been back over thre since it has been up

Saw this in my Twitter feed this afternoon: It’s only a promoted tweet so it doesn’t show up on his twitter page. But you can still search for it like you would a normal tweet. I’m not sure what I think about the estate using Prince’s Twitter account like this. With a lot of celebrities social media accounts it’s obvious they’re being run by marketing or PR people. In the case of Prince though most of the time when there was a tweet you knew it came from him. I don’t think I want the estate using his Twitter account or if they do at most just promoted tweets that don’t show up on his page. But even that feels weird.

this is the estate Prince's account...http://www.princeestate.com/

No. Prince's twitter page should remain Prince's twitter page, with no one else using his account. Prince engaged his fans on that page and the fans always knew it was Prince. I still visit there sometimes, when I'm missing him, to look at his tweets. No, no one else should use his account. They can create a new twitter page.

No, no, and no.

It was his private account and it should be kept as such. If it was up to me, I wouldn't alow anyone to use my social media accounts after death.

When I was at university, one of the students passed away and someone wrote under her Facebook name that she was dead. I felt very uneasy about that. I didn't know her personally, but I wouldn't feel OK if I did. I sometimes chat to my friends on social media and we exchange private information and I definitely wouldn't approve of anyone else having access to our conversations.

   @benni1028What did u do 2 us in Atlanta, @Prince? I've barely slept since that nite. #FeelingRejuvenated #FeelingInspired #FeelingLoved

I miss him. But I really wish he had learned how to retweet people. After he copied and pasted what I had tweeted, he removed a space between my name and "What" and someone went out and created a username with @benni1028What so that it would show up on their page, instead of mine. It really hurt my feelings that they did that and still does, if I'm honest. The person doesn't even use that twitter page.

Oh man that sucks. I always thought it was cute how bad he was with Twitter.

It was cute! But frustrating at the same time, because people took fan tweets that he was retweeting as HIS words. Before the other person did that with the name, I had people sending me private messages, wanting to know what I had did to Prince in Atlanta and accusing me of having done something nefarious to him that caused the plane incident.

And I just wanted to add, that's why it should just remain strictly Prince's words. They shouldn't even use it to promote anything. Leave it as is.

benni said:

Definitely not. Plus why would the tweet be promoted then hidden on his twitter page.

They could easily open an account that is called Prince_estate or some such name and pass along whatever that way. I don't want to see his account used for anything else either.

Heck NO.

David Bowie's twitter and IG are still being used for promotion.

Chill.

But were they always being used that way or was he personally posting on them? For me that’s the difference.

You're right...Bowie probably wasnt personally posting.

It's weird. I still get the ocassional product announcement email from whatever account Paisely Park uses. Seeing an email in my inbox from "Prince" is unsettling.
