Lady Gaga arrives at the Sungshan Airport in Taipei, Taiwan, May 2012
After a considerable achievement as a celebrity with large followership on social websites, Stefani Germanotta, otherwise called Lady Gaga has launched her own social website.
The website which is called littlemonsters.com
was launched recently and according to her manager, Troy Carter, the
inspiration behind the website is to allow Lady Gaga’s fans (little
monsters) an opportunity to mingle with each other, create and share
Gaga related content and at the same time, update themselves with news
about and happenings about Gaga.
Meanwhile, critics have faulted the
website on its semblance with Pinterest and its voting functionality
which is Reddit-like. Reacting to this, Troy Carter, who co-founded the
website’s start up, denies the claim stating that the website’s
intention is not to compete with existing social platforms.
‘This is not a product meant to
destroy or compete with Face book. It’s a different purpose…We wanted to
create an experience where language barriers were no longer
barriers…While Face book helps people build their social graphs, Little
Monsters and other Backplane networks aim to build identities around
specific interests, affinities and movements’ he says.
Gaga, 26, was in March 2012 announced as
the first celebrity to have 20 million followers and has over 52
million face book fans as well as over 2 million Google+ followers.
