5FM launches social networking portal

12 Jun 2007 11:053 commentsBizLike
In the spirit of Youth Month, 5FM yesterday, Monday, 11 June 2007, launched Youngblood 5, an interactive portal allegedly similar to the FaceBook and MySpace online concepts. The aim is for listeners to document what social, political, domestic, national, global and other issues of concern they are passionate about.
The objective of www.youngblood5.co.za is to give everyone the opportunity to “stand up and be counted”. Issues and concerns submitted via the website will be discussed on-air during June – leading up to Youth Day (16 June) and beyond.

Whether listeners prefer to start a blog, podcast their issue or simply just entering the website's forum via email, it's up to each one to decide how they want their thoughts to be headlined.

The campaign will culminate in an event after the end of June, where 5FM will try to obtain answers and possible solutions for the youth of SA from the “powers that be”.

Will it work...?-
Good idea and nice design and flash, but is it going to hold the attention of young kids for long enough...? Nice sticky idea but it would be interesting to see traffic and visit durations... Posted on 13 Jun 2007 15:35
