Social Media for Social Good

Key players around the world are getting together to try to figure out how social media, which reached a tipping point in 2009 and helped power political movements and events globally, can be used for social good.  A recent conversation between Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter, YouTube and Zynga painted a picture where philanthropy may be the future of marketing.  Join our own discussions in Manila on September 22, when Rappler and @TweetupMNL organize Mashable’s Social Good Summit.  This Friday, Rappler moves Zamboanga, looking at how social media can mobilize the youth for political engagement.
