I chose to look up an article dealing with the use of social media by non-profit organizations. I work for a small museum that is a non-profit and I use a lot of social media for free advertising and as a way to connect with other car lovers. This article was interesting and very helpful. I didn't even think about ending my posts in question marks or using questions to generate more feedback and to reach more people. I guess when you think about it that really makes sense because people are likely to have different solutions to the problem and maybe even argue back and forth in the comments and that will cause the post to show up on more people's timelines. I do however post a lot of photos to the museums page and those posts do get significantly more likes. This probably has to do with how people like to learn, like, visual, readers, or hands on people. This article was very eye opening for me and generated a lot of thought.
Social media can be considered nearly a perfeehicle for aSocial media can be considered nearly a perfect vehicle for a non profit. It costs no money to get your name out there and there are millions of people out there to view your page or tweets each day. It seems too often that a lot of non profit organizations today go unnoticed maybe because of their lack of a non profit.

It seems too often that a lot of non profit organizations today go unnoticed maybe because of their lack of available revenue for advertisement but, thanks to social media it appears that such n obstacle is no longer quite as big.
