Aussie star Kylie Minogue has become the first celebrity to launch a social networking site. KylieKonnect will challenge current favourites Facebook and Myspace for a share of the social networking market.

Kylie’s own profile will be added automatically as a friend to anyone joining her network. Fans will also be able to upload their own photos and videos, discuss her latest fashion adventures, download new songs direct to phones and be given the chance to buy concert tickets and meet the star.

The company behind KylieKonnect is New Visions Mobile, who have employed the latest technology, to allow users to create and manage their web pages directly from a mobile handset.

Kylie has promised to keep her blog up to date!
