Zuckerberg's Dog Has A Facebook Page http://ping.fm/mqHrx

Zuckerberg's Dog Has A Facebook Page

Beast. That's Mark Zuckerberg's new puppy's name and now has his own Page on his owner's social network.

The fluffy white Puli breed's Page features images of his famous Facebook CEO owner, and Priscilla Chan, Mark's girlfriend.

At the time of writing, the Page had 130,000 likes, but authenticity of the page has not been verified.

This follows the PR schedule of 'softening' Mark Zuckerberg's public image after the movie, The Social Network, painted him in a slightly negative light.

Other good PR methods have included donations of $100 million to schools, appearing on Saturday Night Live and also on 60 Minutes.

Lady Gaga and Social Media

Lady Gaga is no stranger to Social. Her music videos are created for YouTube before they are ever considered for television.

In a strange and uncharacteristic twist, Lady Gaga has joined Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt in a $1 million investment into a Social Media startup.

Just as Ashton Kutcher put his money into startup hipmunk.com, Gaga's venture into startup backplane.com secures her as a 20% shareholder.

Backplane, which has been founded by Gaga's business manager Troy Carter, aims to blend technology and entertainment, combining big brands' various social presences into one platform.

Lady Gaga also has a partnership with online gaming mogul Zynga, search giant Google, shopping powerhouse Amazon and startup Gilt.
