#NH4NP—More than just 6 characters « alex ptachick. For my team teaching presentation for COM 400: Social Media U Need 2 Know (#NewhouseSM4), I worked with three other girls on a project about social media for non-profit organizations.
For the last two months, we have been interviewing, transcribing, writing, researching, editing, planning and rehearsing, all leading up to today—the presentation. Around 2:45 p.m. my group and I presented our PowerPoint presentation to the class. We showed them how to use an app called “Catalista,” which allows you to find volunteer opportunities in your area and share them with your friends and followers on social media.
We also talked about the new launch of the “Pay it Forward” option on Facebook Gifts where users can send a donation in someone’s name to one of the 11 supported non-profit organizations. We then dove into our three case studies with The United Way of CNY (@uwcny), Home HeadQuarters (@homehq) and The American Red Cross (@RedCross). Here is a link to our presentation via @SlideShare.

Rachel’s Gift. One Year Later. American Red Cross. Donations so overwhelming, a tractor-trailer's needed to get them to storm victims. Syracuse -- Kim O’Casey was hoping for maybe 20 bags of clothing when she started a drive for donations to help the victims of the superstorm that ravaged New Jersey and New York City last week.
After two days, she’s received more than 1,000 bags, she said. So many donations rolled in Monday at Summit Auto dealership that it will take a full-size tractor-trailer to get them to people who need them, O’Casey said. Jon Cleland, owner of Greater Syracuse Moving & Storage, offered to move the items for free in one of his tractor-trailers, said O’Casey, who’s from Central New York and lives in New Jersey. The original plan was to take donations until Monday afternoon. But O’Casey has decided to keep it going through Wednesday at Summit Auto, at 959 W. Summit workers spent most of the day helping to unload bags of donated items and place them in a huge pile in the dealership’s showroom, she said. A lot of people donated items that they’d gone out and bought brand-new, O’Casey said. "6+1 More Great Resources on Using Facebook For Your Non Profit Organisation, Personal Brand and Company" As I promised in my last post, here are 6 more great resources on using Facebook, for companies, personal branding and NGOs (Non Profits).
What you will find in fact is that there isn’t 6 but a “Bonus” which makes 7, which is about “5 Tips for Enhancing Your Brands Presence on Facebook”. A lot of people end up being passionate about one type of media, like Facebook, Blogs, Twitter, YouTube and MySpace, to communicate, interact and market themselves and their organisations. What you have to keep in mind is that they all work together and provide synergies. Remember that your communityand the Web is made up of individuals and they all have different ways of taking in information. Some like reading, others listen to a podcast, the younger generations may want to watch a video, and maybe even an email from time to time.
So have a look at these resources, hopefully they might save you some time. 1. With all due respect, I wouldn’t put Vin Diesel in the upper echelon of movie actors. 2. Hurricane Sandy: View From Above - Interactive Feature. Home HeadQuarters. United Way of Central New York.
