A Challenge in Tracking Resurfaced Social Media Stories
I thought about the idea of resurfacing positive posts and
thought I would look for a few more of these posts, but unfortunately, it’s difficult to
provide a definitive list of resurfaced positive social media stories. Stories often resurface organically
due to user engagement, virality, and algorithm changes, making it challenging
to track a precise timeline. The same story might have been shared on multiple
platforms at different times, making it difficult to determine a single
“initial posting” date.
Having said the above, some of
the most popular positive stories that frequently resurface across social media
over the years include Penguin Hopping into a Boat to Escape Orcas First posted
in 2021, this heartwarming clip of a penguin escaping orcas by jumping into a
tourist boat went viral across platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube.
It has since resurfaced multiple times due to its charming nature and has
accumulated millions of views. The “Ice Bucket Challenge” (2014). This
viral campaign to raise awareness for ALS started on Facebook but quickly
spread to Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms. It resurfaced in 2015 and
2016 during ALS awareness months, generating millions in donations for the
cause. Taco Bell’s Snapchat Campaign (Cinco de Mayo), Taco Bell’s famous
Snapchat filter for Cinco de Mayo, where users’ faces turned into tacos, was
first launched in 2016. It resurfaced in social media stories about successful
marketing campaigns and continued to be referenced on Instagram and Twitter in marketing
discussions. Museum of Ice Cream on Instagram (2016), With over 72 million
engagements using the hashtag #museumoficecream, this campaign highlighted the
museum’s fusion of physical and digital experiences. It has been reposted on
Instagram and Facebook, especially when discussing the intersection of art, branding,
and social media.
These stories typically resurface on popular platforms such
as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube, where they continue to bring
smiles and garner engagement from users.
