  • Past social media challenges that have gone viral? (Like ALS Ice Bucket challenge viral)

    Posted by seohelper on July 29, 2020 at 6:48 pm

    Hey everybody, I’m doing some research on social media challenges and I was wondering if anyone remembers some really viral ones that have happened in the past, similar to how the ALS Ice Bucket blew up in 2014 (which I know is like a unicorn but still).

    Something I’ve noticed that made the Ice Bucket Challenge successful is that was easy to do, for a good cause, and open to different creative approaches. I’m trying to gather data on other challenges to come up with something myself (potentially)

    The trash pickup one did pretty well. VERY few, if any, are realistically going to hit the levels of the ALS IBC.

    What was that one with the dance where people leaned back and started shaking/convulsing. It was paired up with a song I don’t remember though

    Happy slapping (when 3g/camera phones allowed this shit to start taking off)

    What about flash mobs… not really a challenge in the sense of the word, though maybe through the virtue of social media it challenged people to come together and meet to do their thing. Just a thought.

    BTW… any chance this is for a class? This totally reminds me of a class discussion we had in one of my online classes though I am not remembering which one at the moment.
