So what is Social Media exactly?
Social Media is the collection of tools and online spaces available to
help individuals and businesses to accelerate their information and
communication needs. [-Axel Schultze]
At its most basic sense, social media is a shift in how people discover, read and share news, information and content. Social media can take many different forms, including Internet forums, weblogs, social blogs, wikis, podcasts, pictures and video.
How can Social Media benefit charitable efforts and why should I care?
Social Media has created a new paradigm for the democratization of information, being relatively inexpensive and accessible tools that enable anyone to transform from passive observers into active participants.
We believe that Charity Matters--Charitable and civic engagement are an essential part of any thriving community.
Successful Advocacy, Outreach, and Service Provision all intrinsically depend on engaging people. The power of web 2.0 online marketing and Social Media provide the tools and the forum to serve and empower people.
