“How to Make  Splash on Social Media” is a TED talk made by Alex Ohanian, who is a part of the creators of the social news website Reddit, where he explains how his website helped Greenpeace choose a name for a whale and actually saving them in Japan. It is important to mention that Reddit works by posting stuff that you like and people votes on whether they like it or not, a lot of memes were created there.There was this campaign Greenpeace was doing where they wanted to save whales from being hunt in Japan, and they wanted to do it by tracking a whale and they wanted to name it. A lot of people were voting on really fancy names, but a smart guy decided that he wanted the whale to be named “Mr. Splashy Pants”. He went on to Reddit and said “Hey guys, there’s this thing on Greenpeace to save whales,let’s name this one Mr. Splashy Pants and win ok? Ok” and it worked. A lot ofpeople voted, Reddit changed their logo for a whale at that time and they wonwith 70% of the votes, but Greenpeace didn’t like this so they give more timefor the poll to close and for another name to win. Nonetheless Mr. SplashyPants won, Greenpeace sold merch about it and they actually saved the whales. This is an example of how by creating a meme and making other people interested you can help in a good cause, you don’t have to be all serious to help in something.The internet is about that, creating content and conversations so people get caught in and participate.
