Zap ’em in the Zoopy!
Congrats to the team behind SA’s very own YouTube http://www.zoopy.co.za/. You know we love YouTube as it’s such an unbelievable global platform for story-telling and is frequented by web users the world over (besides all the other amazing things about it) but it’s fantastic to welcome our very own South African version which takes all the effort out of searching for SA visual content. Welcome ZOOPY!
It’s superniche and filled with our own wicked sense of humour and weird nuances that make you feel right at home… It’s also encouraging people to share their stories and lives, something along the lines of what we try to do – bring people closer together and encourage communication and citizen journalism.
A fantastic example of people power in action on Zoopy is the FNB anti-crime ad that was pulled before going live on tv – whether you like it or not, at least you can get to see it and make up your own mind.
See it here. So – use it don’t use it, but we say: use your phone, use your video cam, get shooting and upload your stories asap.
