This week I was taking part in the Destructoid.com Muramasa Wii Party on Twitter and while there I noticed that #mileycomeback was a tending topic. "That's odd, why is this trending?" I asked patrons of the party. I was told in this same week Miley Cyrus, a.k.a. Hanna Montana, had deleted her Twitter account, accusing the MSM (Mainstream Media) of using it as ammunition against her.
Now deleting the account should've been the end of it, but in true Hollywood fashion Miley had to come back with a rap song explaining in further detail why she deleted her twitter. In the song she claims the tabloids used what she tweeted as headline news mocking the young star. I heard this and wondered, "Then why don't you just limit their ammo?" Instead of tweeting about every facet of your life i.e. "I have pimples" or "I'm eating lunch," just tweet about information that would both benefit you and your followers. One example, she could've tweeted about upcoming tour dates, when new episodes of her show are airing etc. Thus giving the fans something they are truly interested in, personally benefiting with the additional eyes looking at your products, and limiting the amount of information the tabliods received.
People feel compelled to post their lives on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites and fail to realize they don't need to any of it. People believe this is what you are "supposed to do," and this couldn't be farther from the truth. As we move into the "Social Media Age" (I made this term up =P ) More and more eyes are going to be on you and your "personal brand." What you display on your personal pages reflects who you are and where you are going in life. In all things makes sure you're putting your best foot forward.
If you're at all curious about Miley's rap, enjoy the video.
