Despite his lack of love for the internet, Prince is officially linked to social media sites Twitter and Instagram. According to an exclusive leak from the Purple Army, Prince will be opening a Facebook account on Tuesday 30th September, to coincide with new albums Art Official Age and Plectrum Electrum (3rd Eye Girl).
This leak actually made me smile today. Fan groups on Facebook have long been suggesting that Prince has an official FB page. The age of Prince fans is a wide range, a majority of that range have FB accounts so it's a great move in connecting the Purple Love in one place.
I imagine this will be run by someone from Paisley Park on behalf of a very busy man, but hopefully he will throw out a personal message himself occasionally. As a FB user myself and a member of many Prince related groups, it'll be good to see how some of these 'fans' approach this move. There's a lot of love for Prince obviously, but amongst us are some truly twisted people who I would describe as shades of red and green rather than purple. Whoever runs administration will have a job of wheedling out these haters to keep the Purple Community tight.
Anxiously awaiting Tuesday, and maybe a leak of a Google+ account
