With that said in today's previous post, what is really amusing here is not so much even the conversation between Deadmau5 and Tiesto, but the celebrity/media/fan divide that is so regularly broken by way of all sorts social media, but especially Twitter!
Who knew that we would ever find ourselves in a time or place where another two individuals dinner conversation could be publicized and broadcast casually to millions of people around the world. Once getting over that amazing realization who knew that fans could so easily ever communicate with the celebrity class in such a manner. Once upon a time there would have been incredibly limited means for any such contact.
Twitter really bridges the gap in a way that a fan has the opportunity to directly say something to their favorite celebrity or public figure that before even with facebook would have been rarer.
This has been both good and bad! Obviously it is something exciting but there have been some instances where one could see some backfire. Most recent example of this can be disgruntled fans calling out Kaskade for seemingly not going to be at the Electric Daisy Carnival this year. Though Mr. Raddon handled the situation well, there quite a many individuals without any hindrance capable of attacking Kaskade as a sellout in a very public fashion for anyone using a twitter to see.
But it really wasn't that bad... on the other side of the same coin, those who have been following Kaskade long enough and know of his reputation in the Electronic Music Community were also able to come to his defense.
All in all... how interesting...
