Online Activism

Online is where are users are -- and when we reach out to users online we can often provide a link right to the GridRepublic "join" page, making it easy for an interested person to join up.

So we need your help thinking about just how to get the word out online; and then we need your help doing it.

Email

Simple, but effective: consider emailing your friends to tell them about GridRepublic.

Coming soon-ish: Email and forum signature graphics.


Facebook

We've got a cool Facebook Application -- lets you access the full functionality of GridRepublic from within your Facebook account. But: people have to know it's there. Some things to do:

Beyond that, what can we do to spread the word? Let's discuss...


MySpace

We've also got a cool MySpace page. (A MySpace/OpenSocial Application is in the works). Some things to do:

  • Add GridRepublic as your MySpace Friend,
  • Invite your friends to do the same.

Beyond that, what can we do to spread the word at MySpace? Let's Discuss...


Social Bookmarking

Anyone know how we can collectively go about spreading word about GridRepublic at social bookmark networks?

  • Delicious
  • Technorati
  • Digg
  • StumbleUpon

LinkedIn

Maybe one of the most effective tools for growing GridRepublic is LinkedIn. If you have a Linkedin account, and your're interested in helping us out, please follow GridRepublic's company page and (coming soon a LinkedIn group to connect and network).

Together we can build a real-world network of people who can give us broad reach in a wide range of domains, especially media, advertising, PR, and technology.


Blogs & Websites

Let's compile a list of blogs and websites that might be likely to write about or otherwise publicize GridRepublic; and then let's contact them.

We've posted some button and banner graphics: feel free to use these on your blog or website; and please do encourage others to do the same.
