Boosting social causes through social media | Westfair Online: "Discussions are also very useful. It’s a great way of building relationships, strategies and followers – particularly if it involves good, thoughtful content. This can be done on Facebook or on a site that promotes groups such as Yahoo Groups or Ning, which primarily focuses on the development of a community. The reason why we probably will not use Ning is because we can’t donate the necessary time it requires to maintain and grow a group. Nevertheless, it can be a highly effective platform.
We will also use an email campaign to maintain contact with people who have expressed an interest in being a donor. This may include invitations to events, discussions, etc. throughout the year.
One thing you should always use social media for is to request help from others. We will be asking all of our friends and contacts to forward or retweet our message to their friends and followers. Remember, it’s social media; it’s supposed to be social and this is for a good cause."

ReplyDeleteExactly, when will someone tell the ruthless rule makers at Facebook that their entire platform is based on concepts of growing your friendship base, or more simply making new or more friends.
We create all of Facebook's content yet we need to cower in fear of their punishment for trying to add friends "too quickly"!
What are those guys at Facebook thinking?
