Introduction to Facebook Activism
12 August, 2008
Technology and activism organisation DigiActive has published an Introductory Guide to Facebook Activism. The short, 15-page ebook doesn’t contain any surprises, but has some common sense guidelines on how to get a Facebook ‘campaign’ started, and includes three interesting case studies.
Meanwhile, a survey of the Top 10 Teen Causes on Facebook reveals that the biggest groups on the platform have a progressive bias, looking at issues such as gay rights, renewable energy and reproductive health. (Which would seem to indicate, sadly, that Facebook campaign groups aren’t particularly successful.)
