That was the question in essence that I was asked by a Jamaican university student today. He was doing some research on Caribbean Social Networks. He started out with the following premise…Caribbean social networks are not very well known if at all by most Caribbean people at home and abroad as they are already being bombarded by and are active on the American social networks like Facebook, My Space and Youtube. He then asked me..do I think that Caribbean culture can be eroded because of this? Is his premise sound? Are Caribbean people too caught up in the usual Americana? Do they want to see, be themselves online ? Can Caribbean social networks help spread and even strengthen Caribbean culture?

I’m Jamaican and am always searching for things Jamaican and Caribbean on the social networks that I’m a member of. So Facebook is no different. One of those searches yielded a link to a Fan Page branded simply Jamaica under the travel category. It has 35,045 fans from across the world, this, despite that the creator of the Fan Page has never advertised it (except to his circle of Facebook friends) and has not updated it since August last year…coincidentally, the month of the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, when Jamaica’s sprint factory credentials yielded an amazing show. This has not stopped the fans from joining, continuously updating the Page with their favourite pictures, shout outs and instant reviews on where they’ve visited, how much they loved it and why. Now this is powerful stuff and I let me share with you why.
