Social Media For Social Change
- 1. Social Media for Social Change Leveraging Social Media for National Service Programs
- 2. What is Web 2.0 and Social Media? Web 2.0 is a way of thinking about how knowledge is created, shared, managed, and leveraged using technology . Web 2.0 is NOT a particular look, feel, or design – nor is it limited to just the Internet. Social media are web and mobile tools used for sharing and discussing information.
- 3. Web 1.0 vs. Web 2.0 Web 1.0 was about reading Web 2.0 is about writing Web 1.0 was about owning Web 2.0 is about sharing Web 1.0 was about companies Web 2.0 is about communities Web 1.0 was about home pages Web 2.0 is about blogs Web 1.0 was about portals Web 2.0 is about RSS and syndication Web 1.0 was about taxonomy Web 2.0 is about “tags” and folksonomy Web 1.0 was about Netscape Web 2.0 is about Google Web 1.0 was about wires Web 2.0 is about wireless Web 1.0 was about dialup Web 2.0 is about broadband Adapted from www.joedrumgoole.com
- 4. Social media is a conversation between people… Supporters Participants Audiences Donors Thought Leaders And guess what??? The conversation is NOT controlled … Not organized … Not on message …
- 5. There are over 133 million bloggers creating 900,000 blog posts every 24-hours. If Facebook were a country, it would be the third most populated place in the world - with more than 350 million active users. Wikipedia currently has more than 13 million articles in more than 260 different languages. Social Media Use
- 6. Since April 2009, Twitter has been receiving around 20 million unique visitors to the site each month. Formed in 2004, Flickr now hosts more than 3.6 billion images. Close to 20 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute. The average U.S. Internet user spent an estimated 68 hours online (both at home and at work). Social Media Use
- 9. Why Now? Better access to technology for the average user – higher speed internet connections, faster computers, better cell phones, etc Millennials are known as “ digital natives ,” having lived with the internet all of their lives . Young people are beginning to expect and demand others use online media to recruit , communicate , engage , and manage knowledge . Those who use technology will outlast those who don’t.
- 10. Why does it matter? Web 2.0 and social media technologies are about connecting people information and each other so they can better create and collaborate . This user-driven form of community development is becoming an essential driver of civic engagement . We need to be in touch with how our constituents interact and communicate both with us and each other. Web 2.0 and social media technologies will help strengthen and enhance traditional communication, recruitment and training strategies .

Editor's Notes
- A blog is a website with regular entries of commentary, description of events, and other material of personal interest to the creator. Easy to use – no experience necessary Ability for readers to leave comments Ability to create articles or postings from anywhere there is a connection to the Internet
- Podcasts and vodcasts are audio and video broadcasts - digital media files distributed over the Internet and listed to, or viewed on, a portable music player or personal computer. Users can “subscribe” to content and have it delivered automatically.
- Twitter is a social networking and microblogging service that allows you answer the question, "What are you doing?" by sending short text messages 140 characters in length, called "tweets", to your friends, or "followers."
- On sites like YouTube, viewers can rate, share, and comment on videos. They can also place the video on their own blog or website. Can also create lists of other useful videos, favorite stuff. More than just videos of cats flushing the toilet.
- A social networking service uses software to build online communities for people who share interests and activities or are interested in exploring the activities of others. Easy to use – no experience necessary Used both professionally and personally Focus on connecting individuals, causes, etc.
- Method for users to store, organize, and share bookmarks of web pages on the Internet, as opposed to on an individual computer. Usually public, but can be kept private Examples of social bookmarking sites: Digg, Del.icio.us.
- 1. What was the LOLseals Photo Caption Contest? It was a photo caption contest based on the popular LOLcats site where users share photos of Cute Cats with funny captions. The Humane Society's LOLseals Photo Caption Contest offered cut photos of little baby harp seals and asked people to come up with cute, endearing, and funny captions that celebrated the cuteness of seals. The campaign also urged people to learn more about how to protect these adorable creatures and get engaged with the campaign. 2. What was your strategy for getting people to participate? We learned from a previous photo contest that flopped that if you make it hard for people to figure out how to participate and time consuming, they won't. We provided the photos and an easy way to caption them - so it didn't take a lot of time to participate and it was fun. We also spread the word via social networks and blogger outreach. We have a significant presence built up over the last 18-24 months on major sites like Facebook and Myspace. 3. What were some of the interesting responses? What were some of the challenges? Some people didn’t “get” the LOLspeak… and they wrote serious captions! The biggest challenge was making it as easy as possible for people to participate. We learned with the Wendy’s campaign that you’ve GOT to make it easy. Before, we asked people to upload their photo and tag it themselves, which meant they had to create a flickr account and know what “tagging” was. In using the API, everything was automatic, tagged, and uploaded without the user having to even touch flickr. We were also able to capture email addresses directly to our CRM this way. 4. What you would say made the campaign particularly innovative? One – that everything was in one step and two – that we were able to pull off showcasing the “celebrating animals” part of our mission on a very serious issue and three – that we played off a pop culture / internet phenomenon (lolcats) 5. What were some top line results? We had about 3,000 submissions and it helped get about 2,000 new email addresses.
- The cards are divided into: Social Network, Collaboration, Media Content/Networking; Communication Tools, and Online Broadcast.
