7. Subscriptions, Feeds and Syndication


We have now subscribed to a number of websites for constant information updates. This is an advantage because it saves the time to navigate through a number of websites to search for information. Subscribe for feeds and updates is more effective and all you only do is read through the feeds being sent to your inbox. Information is received as soon as it is generated in the website. All you need is to have a feed reader with the required software.
This helps to provide up to date information as soon as it is generated on your website.

6. Hosted Services


There is need to establish reliable sites so that organizations, institutions, companies, Groups and individuals do not risk losing out on  information depending on the media tool being used. Once again there is need to emphasize on avoiding posting private and sensitive information on social media. Setting up a local system or using a server remotely hosted both has advantages and disadvantages therefore it up to the organization to make a choice.
 We shall however as an Organization use multiple social media for various issues.

5. Group Productivity and Collaboration Tools


The Organization shall strive to improve on its ways of communicating with staff, community and other stake holders. Among some ways we shall use are Phone and Voice over IP (communication via Internet), Video conference, as well as blogs.  Community mobilization and other initiative shall be implemented through social media .All staff and volunteers will be encouraged to set up email addresses, personal blogs, Skype and twitter accounts where possible. However, challenge will be on affordability of internet among our target groups who in this case include the vulnerable youths and women form our target areas.
Micro blogging shall be encouraged among our constituency through twitter, Flickr etc.

4. Current Issues and New Ideas


A lot of mobile phones are able to access internet nowadays. As we take advantage of the availability of social media, we shall also as an organization put in mind the opportunities available in using Mobile phones as a tool to reaching out to the masses especially our target groups. As we create content on the web, we shall bear in mind that it has to be mobile compatible.
