Doctors without Borders is an international medical humanitarian organization working in more than 60 countries to assist people whose survival is threatened by violence, neglect, or catastrophe. Their social media platform is unique because it includes the blogging site: Tumblr. I believe that this tactic is great because it allows pictures, along with a paragraph to go along with the picture. I think this form of blogging is great because it is a highly used site by many of today’s youth and it allows users to re-blog information to their users and you are allowed to see who is re-blogging your information. Their Tumblr profile has a quick synopsis of the organization and under each blog post they have the link to the organization’s website. This use of Tumblr along with twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites puts this organization a little ahead of some of the ones we have reviewed thus far in the course. I believe that this is a great addition to the platforms we have covered thus far. Also, the organization’s website does a great job of providing links to their social media platforms. They also have great, engaging graphics and their social media sites are updated often which does a great job of reeling in the masses to learn more about the organization and bring awareness of their mission.
Charity Water is a non-profit organization that provides clean and safe drinking water for people in developing nations. This platform uses twitter and their personal blog as a social media platform. They also use Instagram which is what stood out most to me. Their use of Instagram is magnificent because those who subscribe can see the people they are helping in developing nations. Instagram is a social media site that to me does a great job of reiterating the phrase that a photo tells a thousand words. This is what this organization is doing through Instagram. Each of their photos tells a person’s story. Their use of photos is a great tactic of storytelling. They use the site effectively because it allows your imagination to wander causing you to visit the site which has a great tool of showing where your dollar donation goes by counting down the dollars toward helping the country of Ethiopia of the current platform that has been brought about thus far. On the site they do a great job of having links to their twitter and Facebook on the site. Both organizations use social media to spread their goal and to get people to donate to their wonderful causes which are a great job!
