Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: At 3:55 p.m. Saturday, this message was posted on Charlie Humphrey’s Facebook page, along with a photograph of a tented party space at the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts:
“Be here. Now.”
This is cute. I'm so glad people actually left their houses and dropped everything to go to this party. I'm glad that things can still be spontaneous and actually work. I'm surprised people didn't have a notion of stranger danger, though I guess if you did then you just wouldn't show up. There are some things wrong with spontaneous events. Some people who had previously been all about going to this party might have made other plans for that day that were unavoidable. Sometimes we really can't just drop everything and go somewhere. I guess this is good for the people that are stuck in front of the computer all day and never leaving. It makes those kinds of people leave the house quite quickly. If I ever have enough money to do this type of thing, I would love to.
This was absolutly incredible! I always get agrivated when people decide to use social media over actually interacting with people. It was interesting how Humphrey decided to create a Facebook party were he brings all of his FB friends together in one area to actually talk face to face. It bothers me how today in our society we choose not to communicate directly. As an artist, it is my duty to keep face to face communication alive and well. It is the only way that we can progress together and solve real world issues. Well done Mr. Humphrey!
Social media is the ticket. People really need to stop protesting this and jus embrace and utilize it as being an effective tool to do…just about anything really. Gain awareness, advertisement, share messages, gain popularity. Facebook is one of the most used apps on smart phones in the world. THE WORLD. That's an insane avenue that people should be exploring. Social media is relatively inexpensive, and what a company or organization can gain from its use truly overrides any minor costs! And I also feel that it's not just social media that people should be exploring and being invested in, but also it's users. People should be capitalizing on having someone in the marketing or social strategy department who is specifically gearing them to being more successful by using social media.
