Who are you following on social media these days? If we were to take a census from your timeline, what would it reveal about your personality, tastes and preferences? Does Jamaica feature in your day-to-day consumption of news, views, tweets and posts? Do you know who the most popular Jamaican social media personalities are? Since the dawn of social media, Jamaicans have built an online community that has a flavour all its own, pretty much like the ‘yardies’ (Jamaican term for persons of Jamaican parentage) on the Rock. We have compiled a list of some of the more popular yard personalities on social media for you.
