Nonprofit/Social media infograph

Im digging the infograph thing thus far. This was a perfect example of how my hope to be profession uses social media. 

I hope to have a career in non profit work that helps to teach people how to live fun healthy livesand becone more self sustaining. I don't know what that means in the job field but I know in my heart that this is what I am supposed to do as an "adult". Since my dream occupation has no name yet I have decided to follow a few things. As Im sure you have all heard There is a terrorist of sorts that the American public is trying to help capture by creating  social media awareness. His name is Joseph Kony. I am going to continue to follow this story not only through the news but also through twitter and facebook because it seem to be making leaps and bounds in the progressive social media world.Kony Uproar

1. Social Media is used for establishing a base. Nonprofits can see who exactly is interested in becoming involved with their project and only submit information to them avoiding extra problems that come along with mass emails ect. By creating a page and having those who are interested like the page or follow the organization or blog the information only goes to those who want to receive it.

2. Nonprofit Organizations can also use social media to keep all of their followers linked together because all of the input is available for public viewing. It is a way to keep an all for one and one for all sort of connectivity between members of the organization and anyone interested in the organization.

3. Social media and Nonprofit organizations work well together because Nonprofit Organizations can use them to promote events and stay up to date with what other nonprofits are doing without continuously clicking their webpage.
