TECHNOLOGY
Social networking poses problems for celebrities
BY MARTHA IRVINE Associated Press
Hopefully, it blows over without doing too much damage. But what if you're famous and have thousands, if not millions, of virtual followers?
CHICAGO — So, you fail to take a deep breath and to count to 10 — and you post something you probably shouldn't on Twitter or Facebook, or somewhere else online.
NFL star Larry Johnson was released by the Kansas City Chiefs after questioning his coach and posting gay slurs for all the world to see. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was criticized for pulling out a big knife in a video that was posted as a "thank you" to constituents for suggesting ways to cut the state budget.
Those are but two of the recent controversies that social networking helped ignite — and far from the last in an era when fans and gawkers are just waiting for sports stars, celebrities and politicians to say something embarrassing or naughty. New
technology makes it that much easier for stars to do that.
"Yes, I get that this is a great promotional tool. It can also be a dagger if not used properly," says Matthew Pace, a New York attorney who works with agencies that manage athletes and who cautions them about the damage social networking can do to a career.
Those kinds of posts are causing more universities, pro teams and even some movie studios to try to clamp down on the off-the-cuff content their stars put online. Or, at the very least, celebs of all kinds are being encouraged to think before they post.
SyracuseUniversitystarreceiver Mike Williams discovered those pitfalls when he was suspended from the football team this fall, and then quit shortly after saying he hated college on his Facebook page.
"I can't see me doing this for long ... hint, hint," Williams also wrote, according to the Syracuse student newspaper.
Sometimes, it's about protecting reputations. In other
cases, it's about keeping sensitive information from leaking.
"But there may be a tendency even for really high-profile people to forget that any content you post online is a public statement — and that it is as public as any television or print interview," says Nancy Flynn, a corporate consultant who heads the Ohio-based ePolicy Institute. "It's in your words, so you can't say, 'Well, I was misquoted.'"
One could argue that some celebrities,athletes and politicians have done a pretty good job of making fools of themselves for a long time without social networking.
However, while there are obvious dangers, all of this "microblogging," as it's known, can be worth the risk: Fans like having this kind of direct access to public figures and can be quite loyal to those who are good at it.
And even if there's an online stumble, here or there, well, that can just make celebs seem more real.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is shown in a scene from his Twitter video related to the state's budget crisis posted July 21 and provided by his office. Schwarzenegger's use of a knife in the spot was criticized by some.
