Power of Social Media

I am a little behind in my journal ling though I have my thoughts floating around in my head. The first thing I would like to float out there is the power of Social Media.

I knew the power of social media before we started class and was a part of a small non-profit that launched its social presence this summer. It was exciting to see the donations that started flowing in just due to the launch of a new website, twitter account and facebook. We actually had thousands of dollars come into the organization for just launching these sites. What was even more interesting was the responses to what we posted.

We used this medium to broadcast the publicity we were getting in the non-profit world. This again prompted additional dollars to flow into the organization.

The power of social media has change this small organization and allowed them to continue to operate.
