Social Media
How great nonprofits and NGOs are rocking Storify
Many nonprofits have successfully built communities on social media. But how can they pull together the social media around a campaign or event so all those tweets and status updates don't just drift away? Here are some great examples and tools.
WaterAid:
Build an awareness campaign around an event with links and multi-media
World Water Day 2012Thursday 22 March was World Water Day - a day to draw attention to the fact that, despite good progress, 783 million people still don't h...
"In the world today, 783 million people - nearly 100 times the population of NY city - do not have access to clean water." Community-led initiatives are key. We can make a difference! #worldwaterday- In this story about March 22's World Water Day, WaterAid expertly blends links, tweets, Facebook posts, Instagram photos and YouTube videos, truly making the most of the Storify platform to present a complete, multi-media information package.
World Economic Forum:
Own the media around your event.Tweets, pictures, videos and blog posts from the Annual Meeting 2012 of the World Economic Forum held in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland 25-29 January 2012.
- In this story from the Davos meeting in late January, the WEF generated more than 80,000 views by embedding the story on their site and circulating it on social media. As a result, the story was theirs to tell, and they were able to frame it as an original source for other media.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art:
Crowd-source your community on social media, and pull the pieces together on Storify.

Storify helped the Met build a collection of that online love. The loyalty and affinity for the museum is thus preserved.
