Appropedia:Social media: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 06:10, 21 November 2009

This is not the official voice of Appropedia. This is the effort of some of the directors of the Appropedia Foundation and members of the Appropedia community, to connect with and serve the larger community.

About us

Did you follow this link from a social media site, wanting to learn about Appropedia?

In short, Appropedia is about Sharing Knowledge to Build Rich, Sustainable Lives.

We are about building a knowledge base of solutions, and building a community of people committed to real-world sustainability and abundance for all.

The Appropedia Foundation is a non-profit that relies on the energy, support and generosity of its community, and uses the social media described here to help stay connected.

Short and sweet: Twitter and more

Facebook

Find us at the Appropedia Facebook page and click join. This is a great tool for connecting and conversations.

On the other hand, it gives us little freedom with how we use, access our information and network, and some of us are hoping there'll be a free/open source version we can migrate to one day. But that's another story... (pardon the lecture).

Who?

Identica and Twitter

Appropedia's Identica and Twitter accounts are mostly managed by Chriswaterguy, long term Appropedia community member and one of the directors of the Appropedia Foundation. He tries not to get too personal, subjective or political, as the aim is to represent the values and interests of the Appropedia community. But all opinions are his own and may not represent the community.

Bookmarks are added from Josef Davies-Coates' Delicious account, and from Lonny Grafman's StumbleUpon account.

Note that there are also other Appropedians on Identica and Twitter, and an Appropedia Identica Group.

Please leave any comments on the talk page, or send a tweet (or a dent, as they're called in Identica) or direct message to @appropedia. Thank you!

Blog

Mostly the directors of the Appropedia Foundation, with some guest posts and interviews.
