Do you have a Facebook profile? Chances are if you've made your way to this blog the answer is yes... in which case read on and send this to people who otherwise need to get the message on behalf of their NPO. If not, we highly encourage you to go to www.Facebook.com and sign up. Creating a profile is free and relatively simple, yet the Facebook application is a very powerful tool and can help spread the message about your favorite organization. Once you’ve created a profile (or if you have a profile), one extra step we recommend you to perform is to create a group. You can name this group anything, upload photos, logos, etc. and then go about inviting others to join. Creating a group for your organization helps to create a captive audience for you to inform about upcoming events and programs. You can also post videos and news feeds about current events impacting your organization. Of course, you may also find that a group for your organization already exists, in which case you can just as easily join to stay up-to-date on what is going on with your organization. Facebook also offers a host of tools that enable you to search for groups that are similar and may offer some “best practices” opportunities for you as well.
Teaming for Technology will be hosting a workshop designed to introduce Facebook and go through setting up a profile and a group in their forthcoming “First Friday” seminar on Friday, October 3rd at 560 W. Lake from 1:00-2:30PM. As always, participation only requires an RSVP to Randy Dill at rdill@uw-mc.org or call 312-906-2404.
