Five Table Mountain Aerial Cableway staff members attended a blogging workshop at their offices on Wednesday afternoon, along with three employees from Splash PR and Media Consultants.
The workshop was held by Flow Communications, responsible for co-ordinating Cableway’s website content, including the blog.
Tara Turkington, Flow Communications CEO, explained the importance of online content and social networking.
“If social networking is your solar system, then your website is your sun,” she says.
She explains that social networking tools such as Twitter, Flickr and Facebook can be used effectively to market blogs published on websites such as this.
Turkington explains that 40% of all South Africa’s bloggers live in Cape Town. She adds that the Cableway is amazingly popular on the internet.
“I have never seen a Flickr group grow so fast,” she says.
You can expect to see blogs from several of our staff on this website in the coming days!
Meanwhile, there has been much debate about whether cycling legend Lance Armstrong, who is in Cape Town for the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, will be visiting the Cableway.
“We haven’t heard from him yet, but it would be great to have him,” says Colette van Aswegen, Cableway’s marketing manager.
If he were to visit, Armstrong would join a long list of celebrities who have been to the top of Table Mountain.
