Digital Death
December 1, 2010 was World Aids Day, an important awareness campaign to take action, to tackle HIV prejudice but most importantly the spread of HIV. There are many organizations supported to raise awareness and even funds. Celebrities are actively involved in these efforts. According to MTV.com, "The original plan was for artists such as Usher, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Hudson and Ryan Seacrest to stage their "digital deaths" until $1 million was raised for Alicia Keys' BuyLife.org charity effort." the campaign kicked off in coordination with Wednesday's World AIDS Day and included the social-media -savvy stars staging a Digital Life Sacrifice by signing off their Facebook, Twitter, and other online communication sites until the fund-raising goal was reached.
This campaign helps provide money for medical care and support services for children and families impacted by HIV and Aids in Africa and India.
Another notable participant included Kim Kardashian...
Personally, I understand the message but not particularly the approach towards sending the message. Many of these celebrities don't really interact with their fans on any of the social networks and makes it seem as though people have to donate a significant amount of money for the cause. Many people are NOT effected by these celebrities not being on twitter or facebook. It would have came much more genuine if these celebrities were actively involved in sending the message to donate. For example, there could have been commercial advertisements with celebrities talking to certain AIDS patients or any other reasonable approach besides the "Digital Death." Nonetheless, hopefully the goal of reaching $1million is reached.
