GreyTV Media Launches Starmap.com to Protect Celebrity Privacy Using Satellite Technology
Creator Michael Grey’s Starmap.com is a win-win for Hollywood’s public interest/privacy rights balancing act.
Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWire) -- 11/04/2011 --GreyTV Media has launched Starmap.com, a social network that gives an unprecedented birds-eye view into the lives of the rich and famous, using satellite technology. Starmap.com combines Google Maps, public records, and user generated data, to deliver the inside scoop on the restaurants, clubs, and shopping venues that celebs frequent. Visitors can now use Starmap.com to get updates on the latest celebrity homes, post a celebrity citing, plan their own personalized tours, and share celebrity hot spots with friends.
Michael Grey, Starmap.com’s creator, developed the site with the goal of relieving Hollywood’s tension between privacy rights and public interest. “You’ve got adoring fans who want to get closer to the Stars, and the celebrities are building fences and putting up signs that say ‘Go Away!’, its a pretty bad experience for everyone” says Grey. “So we created a virtual world that gives you a view into celebrities lives that no one has ever seen before, without invading their privacy, its a real win-win.”
GreyTV is currently developing a mobile version of the site, slated for release in early 2012.
