Online Social Action Platforms: A Complete List?

June 12, 2008 Tom Watson 12 Comments

In the back of CauseWired, I’m planning to include some form of resources section and one of the things I’d like to do is public a decent list of online social action platforms, at least as of my deadline for changes. Here’s the list I have going so far (thanks to the always well-informed Peter Deitz for helping to round it out). Suggested additions most welcome!

    Great list, Tom! It would be great to have a summary of what all these platforms do to separate them a bit, which is what Peter’s starting over at SocialActions.com…

    Hello Tom,

    Thanks for posting about the JustMeans social action platform. I’m glad you are familiar with the social media and communications work of JustMeans. Beyond our role in providing a platform for social impact, I want to let you know of our other service areas:

    1. Talent:
    For Individuals – We have over 2000 great job listings.
    For Companies – We provide recruiting service that includes posting jobs, promoting current job opportunities, and direct company recruitment.

    2. Technology:
    We have mastered social media build-outs and we are now developing customized platforms for companies that want to up-date their traditional styled websites.

    Thanks for the great post about JustMeans and the great list of social action platforms!
