I believe that social networking like Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc. is huge for the liberty movement and will only grow in importance.
For this reason I wanted to start a thread about tips and strategies people may have so that liberty activists can be effective as possible through this medium. Using social networking, we can help spread the message to new people, inform current liberty lovers of causes and events, and much more.
One problem I have encountered when trying to utilize Facebook is inviting "friends" to events, pages, or causes. I currently have 3,000+ friends and it was a huge pain if I wanted to invite them to something since I had to click each one individually. I found that putting the following in my url and pressing enter invites all of them at once:
javascript:elms=document.getElementById('friends') .getElementsByTagName('li');for(var fid in elms){if(typeof elms[fid] === 'object'){fs.click(elms[fid]);}}
I can now easily invite people to a money bomb, fanpage, or whatever. I think if a bunch of people grew their friend list with other liberty lovers and utilized this tip, we could easily disseminate information to a ton of people and thus be more effective.
Any other tips people have to share with the community so we can be as effective as possible in our activities? Broad strategies would also be good as well.
