#FollowSA Launch Johannesburg

#FollowSA is an innovative Twitter hashtag campaign aiming to fundamentally change South Africa’s presence in the global arena of social media.

#FollowSA is more than just a hashtag. It is a link to your next potential client, a blossoming friendship, an unanswered question or a dream coming true. #FollowSA is an opportunity to share your network with others and tap into limitless possibilities of those who network around you.

This campaign was officially launched in Johannesburg at a tweet-up at Crowne Plaza Johannesburg on 31 August 2011 and streamed live through Twitter. The function was attended by approximately 100 tweeps eager to share in the philosophy of #FollowSA and to discover its meaning, after it trended the day before. In turn the messages reached throusands on Twitter.

A #FollowSA website was also launched where tweeps can register so that fellow South Africans can search and find opportunities. This is the first Twitter-based directory in the country. We encourage you to register here to stay in touch with the tide that is #FollowSA.
