Britney Spears Is Hiring An Online Media Manager

(* Source: Mike Arrington *)

 

Great article from Mike... with so many social networks out there today.  Keep up with all of them requires more people. Digital P.As anyone? 

 

 

Want to manage Britney Spears’ online persona? She’s on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other sites, and somebody (not her of course) has to do all the hard work of posting and responding to content.

That’s where you come in. If you went to Harvard, that is. Brandcasting Unlimited, Britney’s online manager, posted the job listing below for “Britney Spears 2.0 Media Manager” yesterday on a Harvard-only private job board. Among the not-so-tough job requirements: you must be “addicted to social networks such as MySpace and Facebook.”

The full job listing is below:

The Millenium Profiles: Cory Kennedy a Myspace Socialite

Have a look at the online myspace profile.

Cory Kennedy, the Internet It girl that rose to fame in a matter of months last year, is at it again. Or rather, she never really stopped. Blogging that is. Or modeling, partying, shopping.... What happened to The Cobrasnake muse getting grounded? The LA Times piece on "The Secret Life of Cory Kennedy" reported that mom had discovered her precocious social life and placed her in a "nonpublic therapeutic placement"  school with limited phone access and a  get-out-of-jail-free card for weekends only.

It seems this alluring MySpace socialite would not be held back though. Cory is on the cover of Spain's NEO2 this month, which she can add to recent clips in Jane, Nylon, and French Elle. She also just wrapped a shoot with Interview.  Her blog has her out on school nights, at Coachella, in NYC, DJing, going to fashion parties....

Cory is truly an icon of Gen Y. While many girls blog to "invisible audiences," she garnered a real one from New York to the Netherlands. She is living proof that social media democratized celebrity--and its pitfalls (seriously, when does this girl go to school?)

Try as her parents may (or may not), rehab doesn't appear to have stuck for this web celeb. Like Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Amy Winehouse, she's just way too busy having fun.
