Continuing on Club Rainbow. We researched and cmae up with a way that will help Club Rainbow by introducing new ideas that Club Rainbow can use by introducing current trends of new media, specifically social media websites.
Twitter:
Twitter is now one of the most popular blogging sites in the world, specifically its the most used micro blogging site in the world.
It uses a live blogging technique in which bloggers can only type up to 140-word short texts. This encourages the blogger to just use short and simple sentences to tell viewers what they are currently doing, instead of having a full blog with alot of information like Blogger.
Since its creation by a guy called Jack Dorsey in 2006, Twitter has become a mainstay for users who just want to have a blog with short, sweet posts and some also find it as a good alternative to instant messaging as well. Thus it is dubbed “The SMS of the Internet”. In fact, any user of Twitter can send and receive tweets via Twitter, SMS or even external applications, like the Twitter app on the iPhone.
Why use it?
First of all , the use of such small blogs with short sentences, gives the viewers infromation which is staright to the point, making it easy to see and understand. Also the layout of twtter is simple, with just the posts in the middle with your contacts beside it.
Secondly, it is very easy to use. The number of people who are using Twittwer has exceeded 5 million. Majoit of this is thanks to its easy to use interface. All you need to do is type your post in a new window and that is it; the use of the layout is very simple.
Finally, its everywhere! On your smartphone on your laptop, anything that can access the internet , you can get to twitter.
How does it help Club Rainbow?
What a charity could do with Twitter is simple. Club Rainbow is able to get out new announcements and updates about the organisation fast and effectively. With so many people using Twitter, they are able to reach out to dozens and dozens of people and also become friends with other charities online. Also Club rainbow could use the website as a base to get views and opinions from their friends or from the public.
