What do Lady Gaga, iZigg, Business Card 2, Toktumi Line 2, and I have in common?

What do Lady Gaga, iZigg, Business Card 2, Toktumi Line 2, and I have in common?

Lady Gaga is in the news again.  And that’s news?  I know…Lady Gaga is always in the news!  She is truly a phenom! I love the way she steps out and supports the GLBT community (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender). Now, that is newsworthy coming from the person most covered in the news these days.

Back to why she is in the news as I write this.

#1 – Lady Gaga is the first artist to get ONE BILLION views on You Tube. Amazing, huh?

#2 – Lady Gaga had the audacity to pass Obama to be the first to reach 10 MILLION Facebook Fans (ahead of our president by about 700,000).  I say “audacity” because I am thinking, “Aren’t the Democrats supposed to work together?” Ok, I know I should not make assumptions.  I am making an assumption that she is a Democrat vs. being a Republican. I have never talked to Lady Gaga (you would think being gay would pay off since she is in favor of marriage equality!).  Forget all that….I have gotten off track.  The point is that all of this was the trending story on Mashable today! Get it?  Social Media POWER!

Just when I thought “What will Lady Gaga do next?” I got my answer. With her being BIG…not make that HUGE… in the news these days, it didn’t take long.  I was ordering a new cell phone after losing mine enroute home from Atlanta back home last week.  I still have an iphone on order.  I really hated losing my sim card.

Kyle, the gentleman on the line in Missouri, from whom I was ordering the phone, suddenly shouted, “Oh my goodness.” (or something like that!) Lady Gaga is the new spokeswoman for Virgin Mobile!

Honestly, I don’t know what to think now.

After researching, my question is, “Did she actually become the new spokeswoman for Virgin Mobile…and, if she is, when did it actually happen?” Surely an event of this magnitude would be newsworthy! Where did Kyle get his information.  Surely he must know since he is a Virgin Mobile rep. I suppose I will have to ask him when I call back today to tell him what color hard cover I want for my phone.  By the way, I chose the purple with black tiger strips.  Grrrrrr.

I am still confused.  In March, 2010, it was announced that Virgin Mobile would back her Monster Ball Concert Tour beginning June 28, 2010.  Those dates don’t equate to yesterday’s date of July 3 when I was ordering my phone from Kyle. The “scoop” on her website said…

In keeping with Lady Gaga’s flair for the theatrical, as well as her innovative and creative spirit, the second leg of the tour promises to push the limits of the live concert experience, bringing fans a spectacle even more eye-popping than what they experienced during the thrilling first leg of The Monster Ball.

It’s still called Monster Ball, but it’s more of a musical and less of a concert,” Lady Gaga said in a February interview with KIIS-FM’s Ryan Seacrest. “It has a New York theme, it’s a story, and the story is that me and my friends are in New York and we’re going to the Monster Ball, and we get lost.

Now, I’m lost.  All I want to know is:

Is she, or is she not, the new Virgin Mobile spokeswoman?

I believe Kyle owes me an explanation since he screamed this announcement in my ear while I was ordering my cell phone.

Forget the answer to that.  The “connecting and engaging” reason I am writing this blog post is to share with you what Lady Gaga, IZigg, Business Card 2, Toktumi Line 2, and I have in common. Here it is.

We all push the limits.  Lady Gaga? Well, you just read what it said on her website…and you read the other news. No more explanation needed.

iZigg.  Ok, maybe you haven’t heard of them. Watch out. It may not be in the realm of the news you currently understand today, but it will be in the future.

I challenge you to think of a company that defines the mobile media market.  No company dominates, much less is a household word like Ford became when they initially ignited the car industry.  There is no “AT & T, Sprint, or Verizon,” the companies who dominate cell phone service, currently dominating in the mobile media market.

This is going to change. It has changed.

iZigg fired the shots igniting the Mobile Media Revolution. Yes, I know. Mobile Media marketing campaigns have been around since 2003, but the general public lacks awareness.

iZigg’s entry into the field is a game changer.  This is more than a shift.  This is reaching a tipping point. Where do Business Card 2 and Toktumi Line 2 fit into this picture?

This short video explains the connections.  It pulls together the diverse strings of commonality on how Lady Gaga, iZigg, Business Card 2, Toktumi Line 2 and me each push the limits in who we are and/or our industry.

Ready, Aim, Fire!  The Global Revolution has begun. We are making a difference and creating a world where people are connecting and engaging, and nothing can stop us!  No government…nobody.  There is no “them” out there.  There is only the power in US…all of us working together to make our world a better place.

Just remember that you heard it on Dotti Berry’s blog, not Mashable!

Here’s my video to Lady Gaga.  Perhaps she will view it and call me!
