SOCIAL NETWORK COMMUNITIES

Paulo Coelho’s keenness to explore the Internet has also led him to well-known social communities such as MySpace, Flicker and Facebook.

The author has discovered a multitude of dynamic communities dedicated to his work, the largest being on Orkut, which now has almost 60,000 members. Most of these social communities include fan pages where his work is discussed.

This further presence on the Web represents hundreds of films up-loaded onto YouTube (his ad for the Hewlett Packard campaign attracted more than 30,000 viewers), pictures and quotes on Media Share Sites and a panoply of blog posts, PPS & un-official fan clubs all over the Net.
