Plugging In, Getting Involved, Changing the World

Supporto
Now in paperback, an eye-opening guide to the massive societal
impact of online social networks

For today’s super-wired, always-on, live-life-in-public young
Americans, the causes they support define who they are. Societal
aspirations have so permeated the ‘net native’ population that
causes have become like musical tastes. Cause Wired
illustrates wired causes in action, bringing real-world stories to
readers.

* Tracks the massive societal impact on causes of online social
networks-from blogs, to video, to the rise of social networks

* Reveals the extraordinary influence of online social
networks-in raising money for charity, in changing the political
climate and electing candidates, and in raising consciousness for
causes

From Facebook causes and campaigns on My Space, to a raft of new
startups and innovative projects like Kiva, Change.org and
Donors Choose, this immensely relevant book delivers actionable
research and recommendations to help readers launch their own
successful wired social campaigns.
