Starting today, December 1, Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, Justin Timberlake, The Buried Life, Usher, Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, Ryan Seacrest and a slew of others are dead . . . to social media that is. Until they can get their 30 million followers to collectively donate one million dollars, they will not send a tweet, update or digital download.
In my opinion, I probably wouldn't miss most of these people, and they are giving their voice online a lot of weight. But for the sake a good cause, like trying to treat and cure AIDS, I give them a double thumbs-up.
