The focus shouldn’t be on the tools because these will come and go as technology progresses.  It is the basic underlying principles of communication that is the mainstay.  Photo by: www.theplanninglab.typepad.com
You’ve probably used it before and you probably use it everyday.  You just never bothered to think twice about it.

It’s a forum where your voice is heard… … and where there is always someone listening. Photo from www.simply-speaking.co.uk Photo from www.mindyourmind.ca
It is constantly tearing down boundaries that the mass media once erected
Photo by: www.walksigns.com Photo from www.globalpov.com
Photo from www.goingconcern.com Photo from www.beaupre.com
Yeah, it’s got a cool new name but at the very core, it’s still the same old story. It’s about engaging, interacting, and  connecting with people. Photo from http://americancorner.hu
It is a conversation.  “ The more you try to be interested in other people, the more you find out about yourself.” – Thea Astley
Photo from http://competeglobally.com
Social Media helps foster communities of like-minded people that exist in the online realm and extend offline. Photo from http://theaiesecblog.wordpress.com
75% of people who are a member of an online community said they use the Internet to participate in a community related to social causes. 40% use the Internet at least monthly to participate in these communities. 94% said the Internet helps them become more informed about social causes.  Photo from www.toprankblog.com Ian Schafer, Deep Focus Social Media for Social Good
 
“ The real value of social media is that it exponentially leverages word of mouth”  –  John Haydon  Photo from www.mediabistro.com
“ How can you squander even one more day not taking advantage of the greatest shifts of our generation? How dare you settle for less when the world has made it so easy for you to be remarkable?” -- Seth Godin Photo from www.literacyunion.org
So what are you waiting for?  Get out there and start socializing!  Photo from www.savethetigerfund.org
