I encourage you to do the same!

Social media, the most common examples that are used I'd say are Facebook, and Twitter have really caught on.  Social media used to be all the rage amongst advertisers as while people do put a certain amount of trust in commercials, they put much more trust in the recommendations and testimonials of their friends.

There is a trope about the six degrees of separation that exist between anyone in the world. (link provided to wikipedia article)  But social media can close this gap faster and easier.

Social media is a tool, just like a hammer, or a wrench.  Used properly it can achieve amazing things, but it can also cause damage, or just sit unused.  As a means of communication it provides an easier way for groups of people, or social networks to interact in a way that is documentable.  It also allows users to easily exchange not just text, but pictures, videos and so forth.  But the true power is in finding others that are potential partners and stakeholders in your projects and knocking down obstacles to communication.

While I will be recruiting people from my own social networks.  (I've created social network groups at my past school to provide student to student assistance in all premedical classes with most groups having over 900 members.)  I've found that there quantity alone does not build successful campaigns.  Rather it is building quality relationships with people that are invested in shared outcomes that create meaningful and committed discussion that can develop into action.

I plan to increase communication with groups that already have expressed interest in our project such as renewing and providing content of interest to people who have already subscribed to our project via twitter.

I also plan on finding other organizations and individuals that are working on projects that are very similar to what we are working on and building a shared communal forum for us to discuss our work on development in a way that is both efficient and yet open.  

But before I outreach to any of these groups I will wait for advisement from my team leaders, Jason Rogers and Ashish Atreja so I may be sure not to recover any ground that has been covered in previous interactions with the groups and individuals because each interaction with these groups should bring significant value to both parties.

I will update the results of any such discussion to this blog for future reference.

Instagram is a simple way to capture and share the world's moments. Transform your everyday photos and videos into works of art and share them.
