Social media…is about pursuing relationships and fostering communities. Paul Adams, Google http://thinkoutsidein.com/blog

awareness, just now you ALSO have the power of an on-line space to do all this.

Social networks are a little like parties with conversations starting and stopping, relationships created and ideas and stories exchanged. This is potentially very powerful for a campaigner or fundraiser looking to make new contacts or get interest going. These networks are social, they’re about communicating and exchanging ideas they’re not a broadcast platform!

Increases ... Communication to Action is increased. Messages sent and opinion sought has potential to be highly responsive, if not instant.
Widens ... For example a question asked or a website link you mention on Twitter will often be widely circulated (or ReTweeted) outside of your network to people you probably never dreamed would see it. If you campaign has an interesting message people will want to tell each other virally. Sometimes you need to get this message to a particular group of people some times you need to let as many people know as possible.
Deepens ... On two levels as conversations are TWO-WAY and with people who WANT TO LISTEN. People have chosen to follow you and you have chosen to follow them. Ready made links.
