Social media and activism

Social media and activism present a rich combination for positive progressive change, if utilized properly and effectively; with a plan and strategy underpinning its use. In many ways there are similarities to the techniques and strategies used for on-the-ground organising and campaigning.

Given my work is all about campaigning online, and people have been approaching me about strategies and techniques, I’ve decided to publish my thoughts on a range of topics about social media and online activism through a series of posts. There will be attention to specific social media sites and tools; which will also include discussion of techniques. There will be at least one discussion piece about online organising; looking at websites and the use of email lists, website tools and CRM. I’ll also be publishing my thoughts on content; including sources (finding & generating them) and management.

Plus I couldn’t go past including something about mobile technologies and applications.

However, there’s a catch.

The catch is each article in the series will be password protected. Therefore you’ll either be invited to read the articles or you will need to request a password to the article you’d like to read (a listing of available articles will be published publicly). Oh and there's no charge for passwords; ie free.
