Some days ago I was invited to an event in the Time Warner building at Colubus Circle. «Music Meets Fashion» was the name of the event. A panel of five people from different companies within the fashion and movie industry, discussed the future of, well fashion and media, and what the future looks like online for them.
One of the speakers was Scott Lipps, president of «One Management», the former model agency with supermodels such as Claudia Shiffer, Eva Herzigova and Helena Christensen as their clients. He talked about why social networks like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and so on are deadly important to reach the audience in 2009. And he was not the only one!
If I could have a dollar for each time someone in the panel said «Twitter» during the one and a half hour session, I would have enough money to by myself a pony. It's like I've been on another planet for a long time. How did the Twitter guys get so huge? And where was I (oh yeah, on the planet). What is the point with this program? Letting everyone know what you're doing all the time, every minute of the day? I thought we had Facebook for that?
I hope I'll keep myself away from the devil that is Twitter. But don't worry! Facebook is still my friend.
