PROJECT #2: ORGANIZATION --> Social Media Analysis


Please lay claim to a specific organization that uses social media tools here asap, by posting which organization you would like to observe in a post, below. First come, first served. This assessment is due on Monday, March 26 - but you must "tune in" to the organization by March 1.

The featured image is the Vermont independence flag. Dr. Williams will focus on Vermont Commons: Voices of Independence news journal, as his organization for social media analysis.

PROJECT #2: Select one politically-focused organization that uses a “Social Media Suite of Tools” (at least three – Blogging, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube etc.), and “follow” them online for several weeks.

Then, provide a detailed blog post analysis in which you describe:

1) HOW your organization used each platform.

2) What kinds of information this campaign distributed via SM.

3) How this organization “organized” people around a cause using SM.

4) What kinds of interactions you observed online.

5) How effectively this organization used SM.

6) MOST IMPORTANT - The "mission" of this organization.

  4. Cheeto - get more political than Boloco - your organization should NOT be a for-profit business, but rather, should have some sort of community and/or political focus.

    Hannah - good choice.

  11. I'm having trouble finding one. 350 seems to be one of the best at using SM.
