Mika has some issues with social networking
Mika is more fond of Facebook than Twitter. Speaking from Morocco's Mawazine Festival on Sunday, the Lebanese-born English pop star said he has mixed feelings regarding his Twitter account, despite having more than 380,000 followers. "I'm on tour, it's 1.30 in the morning and I am waiting in the hotel lobby, so I think, sure, I will check my Twitter," he said. "Sometimes I am horrified by what is directed at me online." Mika states he has no problem with Facebook, however. "Last year, I did an intimate acoustic tour across the US and advertised it only on Facebook," he said. "Ninety-three per cent of the tickets were sold out in minutes. After that, I told myself I would never say anything bad about Facebook again." – The National staff
