6th annual Back to the city
SOCIAL MEDIA DOES IT AGAIN!
The official poster for Back to the city
No matter how many times older people can say social media
and technology are confusing the youth, it still proves to be a very powerful
factor in spreading the word about events and uniting people! I believe it has
proved this right yet again by assisting in spreading the word about a hip hop
and youth culture celebration event; the 6th annual Back To The City
event which will be held on the 27th
of April 2012 on Henry Nxumalo Street in one of South Africa’s biggest cities;
Johannesburg. The event includes live performances from great South African hip
hop artists, dancers, street art and exhibitions. The event surely sounds like
one to not miss out on!
The power one Blackberry Messenger or Facebook status
message has towards the promotion of any event is really tremendous! I myself didn’t
know much about the event but learnt a lot about it and even want to attend it
all because of what I have been exposed to on different social media platforms.
Blog posts have been created for the event; such as http://noblegrinders.blogspot.com/2012/03/back-to-city-2012-announcement-list.html ,
the event has an official Facebook page: Back to the City Festival and a page
on the top micro blogging site Twitter @BacktothecitySA.From what I have observed on these social
media platforms; I believe that this event which will be celebrated on one of
South Africa’s biggest public holidays (Freedom Day on celebrating our
countries liberation) will be a huge success!
social media has a great influence on people, it now determines what we wear, how we speak and everything else, but by far this is one event not to be missed
I fully agree with you on that Gift; this is one event not to be missed! I also like the point you raised on how social media influences even the way we dress and how we speak. If people still don't notice how effective it is (especially organisations), then they could definetely lose track of time!
It is only really disappointimg when social media starts being a source for things like invasion of privacy and human trafficing! Either than that, social media is a very powerful tool indeed!
The negative activities the country's youth is exposed to is really sad. It is good to know that there are events like this to encourage unity amongst the youth

DeleteSocial media is a global platform so it is really a difficult platform to control a s a nation. However; it does gain organisations in a large way
DeleteThis is a good event for young people to unite through music instead of engaging in negative encounters!
