Do you remember what your life was like in 2007? It was the time before the Facebook takeover, before Twitter, when “hashtag” sounded like a game involving a breakfast food. Oh, how times have changed.
Social media has changed the way we work, the way we play, and the way many document breakfast foods (don’t believe me? Check out Instagram on Sundays after brunch.)
Social media has also proven to be very important for artists. Whether it be sharing the latest track, keeping fans informed of tour dates and set times, to sharing hilarious van games, banter or political commentary – social media allows fans to interact and follow bands like never before. This year we honour the best tweeters, Facebookers, tumblrs and instagrammers of the bunch with the new #SocialButterfly Bucky Award!
WHAT ARTIST OR BAND IS THE BEST #SOCIALBUTTERFLY?
What artist has the most informative feed? Funniest tweets? Most amazing instagram? Great tumblr?
What band or artist do you follow on social media that is doing it not only right, but the best?
There are three ways to nominate your favourite artists:
- Post your nominated artist on the blog
- Email your nomination to R3social@cbc.ca
- Tweet @CBCRadio3 (and don’t forget the #SocialButterfly hashtag!)
