Factors to consider before you start

  • What is your overall communications strategy and how could new media

enhance that strategy? Does your strategy need adjustment?

  • Who are your audiences? One size does not fit all.
  • What conversations are your audiences already having on social media and

what are they looking for?

  • Staff/advocate/network understanding: How comfortable is your staff/network

at using social media and understanding different approaches for

  • rganizational/personal use?

When to Engage/Not to Engage

Strategy will differ depending on organization/movement, but in general:

  • Do Engage:
  • With your followers looking for news, inspiration, collaboration or looking to help

spread the word

@OnlyInterject: Computational Biology @ work! via @AIDSvaccine Determining shape of viral protein could spur #HIVvaccine dev http://bit.ly/bmSgZK #AIDSvax10

  • You can engage:
  • With your followers who seem genuinely misinformed

@JoziStylista: RT @BeigeTheColour: One would imagine that a small dose of HIV blood is

  • ne of the ingredients in the AIDS vaccine...
  • Do Not Engage:
  • With conspiracy theorists, and sarcastic and derogatory users. Your followers

might correct the misinformation on your organization’s behalf

@marshallbock: @naporeon Vaccines cause autism! And AIDS! AIDSTISM!
