Jermaine Dupri Jumps Into Social Networking With Global14.com

Grammy Award winning producer Jermaine Dupri officially launched his Global 14 Social networking community today (January 27th). JD says his wants to make this venture the “coolest, hippest city” on the Internet.

According to Allhiphop:
JD said he launched the new website to take advantage of what Dupri labeled ‘social notifying,’ where people share
bits of information with one another, as opposed to detailed information in traditional social networking. While some may be surprised that the hit making producer has launched an Internet venture, Jermaine Dupri told AllHipHop.com that he has had his eyes on the Internet since he was President of Urban Music at Virgin Records. He also discovered has artist Dondria via YouTube.com. “People want to have a place where they feel like it’s a cool place and cool spot to be out as well as have conversation and really talk to each other,” Jermaine Dupri told AllHipHop.com. “It took me almost five years for it to get where I am at now.” Jermaine Dupri said the main difference between his social networking community and others, like Twitter and Facebook is his own celebrity status. “None of those have an owner that you actually know and feel like you have something in common. People only know the Facebook owner now because of his money. You wouldn’t have hung out with him before you knew what he did. I have an influence on producers, songwriters, artists and creative people in general.”
