Paparazzi 2.0

Filed in archive Newsdesk 2.0 on January 30, 2007

Some *home* artists aquired fame through the use of Myspace, by publishing their music to the social network. The internet is a perfect way of making name for yourself in all kinds of ways. While you could use a site like Flickr, Youtube or whatever to get known as a photographer, a new site has popped up especially for the purpose of becoming a paparazzi : Scooplive.

The Web has exploded with amateur videos of everything from the Saddam Hussein hanging to Michael Richards hanging himself - all filmed by "citizen journalists." Up until now, though, cashing in on these stories has been hard to do.()

So how is this site different ? Well, the site will pay you for certain pictures. So if you accidentally spot Jlo somewhere, grab your cell and take that shot. You could get on her hate-list.
