While we’re on the subject of social networking, here’s a quick Facebook tip: on a confence call today, Farra Trompeter mentioned that a she’d received Facebook message from a pro-Obama group she’s joined, asking her to change her Facebook Status to “voting for Obama.” I’m sure this isn’t new, but I hadn’t thought about it enough before to see it as a communications tool. Clever, since regular Facebook users see their friends’ Status messages (“Colin is…”) often.

If you’re looking for guidance on using MySpace for advocacy and/or politics, I just found a bunch of it: Heather Mansfield at Diosa communications has assembled 42 separate pieces of advice and is adding more every week. She’s clearly a social networking enthusiast and these tips sound like the product of solid experience. Some of them (“#34: Use MySpace to drive individuals to your e-advocacy campaigns”) will be familiar to readers of more general guides, but many of them are more subtle and will go a long way to helping an organization or campaign avoid mistakes and get the most out of their investment in social networking sites.
