Social Media Publicity: From South Africa to South Dakota

by on July 15th, 2010

Twitter made it easier for millions of people to express their love of country during this past World Cup.  It was so popular that Twitter actually experienced “blackouts” due to millions of users overloading the system.  These massive numbers helped soccer fans spread the word and get more people interested in the sport.

Across the world in Sioux Falls, SD,  JazzFest will be taking place tonight, tomorrow and Saturday at Yankton Trails Park. Here at 9 Clouds we will be promoting the event via social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter and running contests on Foursquare.  Do we expect to break the World Cup’s record of 3,283 ”tweets-per-second”? No, but we do intend to inform the 90,000+ people that are expected to attend this years JazzFest.  Hopefully JazzFest twitter users embrace this opportunity and spread the glory and atmosphere of Sioux Falls JazzFest.
