TwitterUpdate often enough to keep followers engaged, and only when there’s something of interest. Think of it as an online way to bring people to a specific part of your organization: donation page, new event announcement, etc.
Going A blend of social media and calendar listings, this site lets you make both “friends” and “acquaintances” and join groups as well as post events.

Helpful Hints• Be strategic
You know better than anyone what the needs and abilities of your organization are; don’t be afraid to say no to a social media outlet.
• Try it first Create your own profile to test a site (you need only divulge as much information as you are comfortable with). Once you have the hang of it, you’ll be able to think about the best ways to use each social media outlet for your business, or whether you should use it at all.
• Do what you do wellIf you have the staff and the time to handle one social media campaign, do it and do it well. A Facebook profile that only gets updated once a month or a blog that doesn’t talk about anything interesting or call its readers to action isn’t worth having.
• Smart Brief on Social Media (smartbrief.com)A daily email newsletter that summarizes stories and examples of social media trends and campaigns, and a great source of inspiration.
