Facebook

We'll be talking about Facebook Pages for nonprofits and community groups. The price is right (free), and with just a few steps you can get your Page up and running. We'll cover some of the dos and don'ts. I just helped the Saranac River Trail group put up a Facebook Page, so we'll use it as an example (http://facebook.com/saranacrivertrail).

Joe and Jesse talk about social media and activism: what is it, who does it, and what's the story.

Here are some of the issues we'll try to discuss:

• What role do social media really play in protests and uprisings?
• How do people use them to promote activism?
• What's the relationship between social media and traditional media?
• Do social media replace old-fashioned organizing?
• What's next?
