I've been thinking a lot about social media this week and wonder whether anyone knows of some good discussions going on about social media as a tool for community organizing. After being nudged by some friends to help them develop a presence online, I just released an e-book on my website called "Social Media: a beginner's guide to meaningful and mindful engagement". Now, after watching what's been going on with Occupy Wallstreet, I've been contemplating whether I should add a section (or follow-up piece) on community organization (or at least some links to resources, discussions, etc.) online. I'm far from an expert on social media, but I do find it an intriguing query and I know that it's something we need to pay attention to in these shifting times.<br/><br/>Is anyone talking about this? <br/><br/>Here's a link to one of the pieces I was reading about Occupy Wallstreet... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.truth-out.org/occupywallstreet-more-hashtag-its-revolution-formation/1316784846">http://www.truth-out.org/occupywallstreet-more-hashtag-its-revolution-formation/1316784846</a><br/><br/>Heather Plett The Art of Hosting the Revolution in Egypttag:artofhosting.ning.com,2011-03-05:4134568:Topic:87822011-03-05T12:10:24.402ZRainer v.

<p>Dear friends,</p>

<p>We explored ways of how WE coiuld help as a community.</p>
<p>One is, that she will contact the EU delegation in Cairo to set up a democracy training programme very fast.</p>

<p>I just come out of a skype call with Hala el-Hawari. She (as millions of egyptians) has been in the core of the revolution since the first day. She has the intelligence to see the need that this movement needs hosting, and needs it NOW.</p>
<p>We explored ways of how WE coiuld help as a community.</p>
<p>One is, that she will contact the EU delegation in Cairo to set up a democracy training programme very fast.</p>
<p>A second is, that I could lobby in the EU to set up a volunteer group of EU officials trained in the Art of Participatory Leadership (Art of Hosting) to be ready for AoH training projects in Egypt.</p>
<p>The third is an invitation to THIS GROUP. Who is in to set up asap a Art of Hosting training in Cairo???</p>
<p>Warm regards to all,</p>
