Twitter is a great way for activists to network with friends, compatriots and supporters in your country and around the world. The social networking tool has been important in many democratic revolutions.
DigiActive produced a handy guide on how to use Twitter. Written by a German online activist, the DigiActive guide explains:
- What Twitter is and how it works,
- Twitter in the real world (Five uses: spreading the word, social media campaigning, coordinating effective action, crowdsourcing, and personal security),
- Steps to organizing an activism campaign with Twitter,
- Advice for your Twitter campaign,
- Applications to help you use Twitter,
- Microblogging alternatives to Twitter,
- and more.
