In this Web Executive Seminar hosted by Forum One, presenters shared strategies for how policy organizations and other nonprofits can take advantage of social media and social networking sites in support of their mission. They cut through the hype and discussed issues related to brand management, resources and budgeting, and related issues. They also discussed which sites are worth organizational investment and how to gauge success.


Overview

Facebook, MySpace, Orkut, Digg, Delicious, Flickr, Twitter, and other social networking and social media web sites are experiencing tremendous audience growth. It's now clear that most effective issues-based organizations in 2008 will extend their internet strategy to connect with supporters across these social web sites. The opportunities to build new audiences are as great as the complexities.
