The Internet has opened up many possibilities for rights advocates. In order
to make the best use of the online world for their campaigns, however,
advocates need to know what services are available, how they can be used in
an advocacy campaign, who owns them and their hidden dangers.

The Quick 'n Easy Guide to Online Advocacy (
http://onlineadvocacy.tacticaltech.org) developed by Tactical Tech, aims to
expose advocates to online services that are quick to use and easy to
understand. The guide provide descriptions of online services including
social networking sites, image and video hosting services, and services that
enhance an organizations web presence. The guide also offers advice on where
and when to use these services. Case studies, security concerns as well as
the advantages and disadvantages of various web services are discussed, with
the aim of improving advocates ability to conduct online advocacy campaigns.


The internet services listed in the guide covers four main areas in which
advocates operate: informing and communicating; documenting and visualising;
mobilising and coordinating; and bypassing and accessing.
