Current News – July 23, 2009
Social networking sites have changed the way people organize and share information. They focus on building online communities of people who share interests and activities. Small organizations, particularly non-profits, typically do not have the resources to reach a broad audience. Now, with Social Media sites like Twitter and FaceBook, we are able to form stronger and more effective connections with interested and passionate supporters… people like you!
Social networking will benefit Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County through interacting with a like-minded community and finding a channel for energy and giving. How does it benefit you? As a “fan” or “follower” you can receive instant updates about interesting things in the world of Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County. These updates are shared in real time, so you will be able to stay connected as information happens – not afterwards!
Habitat for Humanity of Iredell County is now using FaceBook and Twitter. These sites will allow us to share status updates, links, advocacy alerts, pictures, video and other media/information with you. We also have a YouTube channel, which is still being developed. Stay tuned for more information, and a link to that channel, in the near future.
