Social Media is Going Mobile, and So Should Your Nonprofit

As the Web goes mobile, so does social media… and so should your nonprofit. If there is one thing I have learned over ten years of using the Internet for fundraising and social change, those nonprofits that can embrace change quickly, empower their visionaries, and adopt new Web trends, reap the benefits of being early adopters.

The Web and how people use it is transforming quickly. There are more than 65 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices and that number grows daily. MySpace estimates that 50% of its Website traffic will be mobile within 24 months. In 2008, over two trillion text messages were sent worldwide. 1 trillion of those were sent by U.S. mobile subscribers… triple the number of how many text messages were sent in 2007. Many of those texts are being sent via Tweets on Twitter and Status Updates on Facebook.

Social Media is definitely going mobile, and I have listed below three mobile strategies that your nonprofit can start experimenting with and considering for 2010:
