Thanks Lisa! I think my blogging has just evolved some, as I intend to adapt my writing to foster and encourage comments and feedback from others. Duly noted: create questions for readers to answer.

And I think you've come across a great tip for blog posts...and that is to ask questions that can be answered by readers. Must remember to pass that on to the 'class' :) @Carolyn I do not know anything about this campaign...you'll have to talk to Mary Sidebotham...I think she was in the 'know'. Twitter - I love it...as you know. It works much better if you use a program that brings the tweets in synchronously. I use Echofon that is embedded in my Firefox browser. I have often thought that Twitter should be great for midwives because it can be used via cell phones which midwives use all the time. Just re-read your post, Lisa.

I must admit we have had lots of success with our fund raising through the internet and networking. I'm interested in how to increase the network. I have a constant conundrum with twitter, you can't communicate with anyone you aren't following even if you@ to them. So how do you get followers or communicate through that medium with people who are not already following you? How to you encourage followers?

You write well. I too am seeking to understand and become fluent with ways to generate interest and activism in important topics using social media. I like the way you have set up the blog too! Very creative and delightful to view. Sarah, the social media campaign for the birth centre support was awesome and very effective wasn't it. Do you have a sense of why that particular campaign was so effective? Hi Lisa, I love your post. You write well.

Did you read about the Facebook campaign that got a birth unit re-opened on Mary Sidebotham's blog?
