After a nationwide online competition, MTV has contracted the world’s first Twitter Jockey. The user voted winner is the 23 year-old Gabi Gregg, who happily accepted the $100,000 TJ job.

You might also know Gabi as the owner of fashion blog Young, Fat and Fabulous?

What will MTV and fresh TJ Gabi do? Well, the TJ position is the updated version of MTV’s VJ job. Gabi will meet and interview music superstars. But Gabi will also…


feed music news to her MTV blog, Facebook and Twitter (almost 14,000 followers) and be MTV’s social anchor woman. Since it’s MTV, shouldn’t I call her: Anchor chica?!

With this scoop MTV might earn a lot of attention. Why? Because social scoops like this mostly earn massive attention.

Check for example this article about Sony being the first ever to launch a viral game on twitter. It already got over 89,000 views here at ViralBlog.
