Not only can we share with you through Facebook, but we
like when you share with us, too.
Social media�s the thing these days. Take Facebook.
It�s a popular, free-access social-networking website.
Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school and region to
connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send
them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about
themselves. The website has more than a billion
users.
Facebook connects people and businesses around the
globe. It�s a place where you can share what�s happening in your life with a
single sentence, or interact with your favorite politician or publication
with a few clicks of the mouse.
And that�s why Cooperative Living magazine is on
Facebook. We want to connect with you, our reader. By �liking� us on
Facebook at www.facebook.com/ cooperativeliving, you�ll get to view
interesting links, find out about current and upcoming articles in the
magazine, get a heads-up on contests and, most importantly, to give us your
ideas on how we can make Cooperative Living even more interesting and useful
to readers like you.
Through our Facebook page, we share everything from
energy-efficiency tips to a behind-the-scenes look
into how we prepare the magazine each month. We
will also feature links to events going on in your community, as well as
additional information on topics we feature in the magazine.
Not only can we share with you through Facebook, but we
like when you share with us, too. You can post your favorite
cooperative-related photos or share your favorite energy conservation tips
on our wall. Or, like reader Virginia Frost of Danieltown, you can just stop
in to say hello. She wrote, �So glad to see that Cooperative Living magazine
is on Facebook! I have missed it for years.�
Cooperative Living magazine also has a presence on
Instagram and Pinterest. Instagram is a wildly popular photo-sharing mobile
app. On Instagram, words are minimal and photos are high-impact. It�s a
social-media platform known for its more than 80 million slice-of-life
images posted per day; an evocative thread of images that tells a story
about the individual or business that posts them.
Through our presence on Instagram, Cooperative Living
magazine hopes to connect with our readers in a different way than through
our Facebook presence. We hope to create a personal environment for our
followers and offer through Instagram a different perspective on the
magazine, its content, the member cooperatives it serves, its readers, and
even the faces behind the magazine. We invite you to also stay connected
with Cooperative Living by following our Instagram page at
www.instagram.com/cooperativelivingmagazine.com.
Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website
that allows users to create and manage theme-based image collections such as
events, videos, news and more. Users can browse other pinboards for
inspiration, �re-pin� images to their own pinboards, or �like� photos.
Our Cooperative Living boards include the following:
�energy smart,� �cooperatives,� �DIY,� �Featured,� �CL issues,� �food &
recipes,� �electric industry,� �gardening,� �kids� and �travel.� If you are
