<P>For most of her solo career, <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/knowles_beyonce/artist.jhtml">Beyoncé</a> has been like the Diana Ross of her generation: a glamorous diva who's wowed us with her prodigious talent and envelope-pushing style while maintaining an arms-length distance that gave her a pop royalty air. </P><P> </P><P>But on Thursday (April 5), she joined the Lady Gaga's and Katy Perry's of the world by taking a dive into the social media pool. For fans of a singer so private she wouldn't even confirm her marriage to hubby Jay-Z for years, it was a precious peek into the glamorous, globetrotting world of music royalty. </P><P> </P><P>The "Love on Top" star <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/BEYONCE" target="_blank">announced</a> the foray with her first <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/04/05/beyonce-launches-personal-tumblr-sends-first-tweet/">tweet</a>, "Hey World, it's B! I'm so excited to invite you to my new beyonce.com -- we've been working hard, and it's finally ready for you XO." (It's worth noting that at press time with only one tweet, B's account already had more than 3.5 million followers.) </P><P> </P><P>And when fans checked into the personal <a href="http://beyonce.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Tumblr</a> she'd set up, well, their dreams were answered. The page is a treasure trove of private moments, from Queen B chilling on exotic vacations with sister Solange, to pics of her arm-in-arm with Jigga, silly Halloween shots, pregnancy photos, arty still lifes and even a 15-second video in which a visibly pregnant Bey walks by a blue ivy tree. </P><P> </P><P>Of course, <a href="http://rapfix.mtv.com/2012/04/03/rihanna-beyonce-calls-blue-ivy-jay-z-twin/">daughter Blue Ivy</a> was born earlier this year and people have been scrambling to figure out the meaning of the name for months. </P><P> </P><P>The site also has a number of shots of the singer's nephew, Julez and in a message entitled, "I Am," she explains, "This is my life, today, over the years -- through my eyes. My family, my travels, my love. This is where I share with you. This will continue to grow as I do. Love, Beyonce." </P><P> </P><P><I>What do you think of Beyoncé's new Tumblr?
