WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF YOUR SOCIETY? HOW CAN YOU USE INTERNET MEMES LIKE TRANSPARENCY & PARTICIPATION FOR IMPACT

DO SOCIAL MEDIA RIGHT, AND PEOPLE WILL DO YOUR CAMPAIGNING FOR YOU

SOME SOCIAL MEDIA WINS:
REACH, SCALE, ENGAGEMENT
BUT ENGAGEMENT IS ONLY THE START... THE REAL WINS ARE COLLABORATION, CROWDSOURCING AND SELF-ORGANISATION

RSS IS NOT JUST FOR READING YOUR NEWS YOU CAN CREATE AGGREGATOR PAGES FOR PUBLIC VIEWING

A WORDPRESS TEMPLATE MAKES IT EASY TO CREATE ALLTOP-STYLE SITES

FOR MORE ADVANCED EXAMPLES, LEARN FROM http://www.mashthestate.org.uk/ AND http://ouseful.wordpress.com/

USE A WHITELABEL SOCIAL NETWORK LIKE NING FOR SHARING & COLLABORATION

THE FUTURE IS NICHE LIKE THE SAVVY CHAVVY NETWORK FOR YOUNG ROMA & TRAVELLERS IN THE UK

MAPS ARE GREAT ACTIVISM TOOLS A SIMPLE PDF OF GOOGLE EARTH SCREENSHOTS CREATED A STIR IN BAHRAIN

TUNISIAN ACTIVISTS HAVE CREATED INNOVATIONS LIKE GEO-BOMBING

GEORGIA IS PRETTY BLANK ON GOOGLE MAPS... BUT NOT ON OPEN STREET MAP ->

OPEN STREET MAP IS MAPPING FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE GREAT FOR COMMUNITY PROJECTS

USE BUZZ MONITORING TO FIND PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES

EVEN THE UNITED STATES AIRFORCE UNDERSTANDS THE IMPORTANCE OF BLOGGER OUTREACH

MEASURE AND LEARN THINK HOW METRICS CAN SHOW IMPACT E.G. SOCIAL NETWORKS -> SOCIAL CAPITAL

LOOK TO MYSOCIETY FOR CLASSIC PROJECTS THAT NEED A MORE BEHIND-THE-SCENES GEEK POWER

FIND GREAT ACTIVISM EXAMPLES AT DIGIACTIVE

SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL: CROWDSOURCING OF (POLICE) WITNESS IDENTIFICATION AFTER THE DEATH OF IAN TOMLINSON AT THE G20

STATS FOR WEB V. MOBILE MEANS MOBILE ACTIVISM IS IMPORTANT FOR GEORGIA LEARN ABOUT FRONTLINE SMS

USHAHIDI MASHES UP MAPPING AND MOBILE TO MAKE A CITIZEN REPORTING TOOL THAT CAN BE USED ANYWHERE

TWITTER ACTIVISM IS BECOMING IMPORTANT CHECK OUT THE DIGIACTIVE GUIDE AND THE ANALYSIS OF MOLDOVA POLICE IN GUATEMALA RECENTLY ARRESTED SOMEONE FOR A POLITICAL TWEET

FIX MY STREET; A POTENTIAL STARTING POINT FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION C.F. SAUL ALINSKY

HISPANIC YOUTH USED MYSPACE TO SELF-ORGANISE THEIR PROTESTS AGAINST ANTI-IMMIGRANT LEGISLATION

MYSOCIETY CREATED PLEDGEBANK TO SUPPORT SELF-ORGANISATION

TEEME ARA IN ESTONIA USED MOBILE, GPS AND MAPS TO CATALYSE A MASS CLEANUP

SOCIAL MEDIA HAS A DARK-SIDE

DURING THE WAR IN GAZA THE ISRAELI DEFENCE FORCE WERE BUSY ON YOUTUBE AND TWITTER

THE STATEBOOK SPOOF SHOWS THE EXTENT OF DATA SURVEILLANCE IN THE UK

BUT CENSORSHIP CAN BE CARRIED OUT BY COMMERCIAL COMPANIES, USING THEIR TERMS-OF-SERVICE C.F. THE YOUTUBE-WAEL ABBAS EXAMPLE

WE CAN USE DIGITAL TOOLS TO DEFEND OUR DIGITAL ACTIVISM

WE MUST DEFEND THE FREEDOM OF THE DIGITAL SPACE

SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SOCIAL IMPACT – A MODEL OF CHANGE THAT'S WIDER THAN JOURNALISM OR CAMPAIGNING

SOCIAL INNOVATION CAMP USES DIGITAL TECH TO TACKLE SOCIAL PROBLEMS

WE BRING GEEKS TOGETHER WITH PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT A SOCIAL NEED OVER A WEEKEND THEY CREATE PROTOTYPE PROJECTS TO SOLVE A SOCIAL PROBLEM

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NGOS AND GEEKS IS EXPECTATIONS

SOCIAL INNOVATION CAMP GIVES PEOPLE THE EXPERIENCE OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE BY MAKING SOMETHING

OUR FIRST WINNER IS NOW A SOCIAL BUSINESS...

IN SEPTEMBER 09 THE CEE TRUST WILL HOST A SOCIAL INNOVATION CAMP FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE IN BRATISLAVA
