Rap star 50 Cent has launched a social networking site called ThisIs50.com. Now artists such as 50 Cent, who already have a massive presence on MySpace, are branching out to create their own social networking websites. Even thought 50 has around a million "friends" on MySpace, with his own website, he gains a level of control on his fans that he does not have at other social networking sites. He can, for instance email his fans whenever he wants about upcoming events and include all kinds of ads on the email or offer paid downloads, merchandise etc, etc.
