Create and Organize Your Own Social Network with mySalsa

Today we are excited to announce the official launch of mySalsa - our newest tool to make online organizing easier. 

mySalsa is a social network for your supporters.  The tool wraps all of Salsa’s core features into an easy to use community portal that empowers people to get active by quickly connecting with others who share the same passion and interests.  Through this, supporters can host events, start groups, post updates, and even fundraise.

Best of all, it doesn’t replace other social networks where people are already connecting and organizing – mySalsa is a compliment to existing communities.  Think of it as a hub where your supporters can connect and organize while at the same time pushing out that activity to their other social networks like Facebook or Twitter.

This feature has been in the works for a while and we are excited that the Humane Society of the United States and Jerry Brown for Governor campaign in California are already up and running and organizing their supporters like never before.

Check out the screenshot and video demo and see for yourself how exciting the new mySalsa can be:

Fiesta! Fiesta! Do you want to watch me eat?

Step 1: Come to DC for our user conference on June 24-25.

Step 2: Join me on the 25th for a brown bag Friday Fiesta.

Step 3: Try to stifle your laughter as I spill food all over myself.

I watch so many great questions and especially great answers from members come in through the forum each week. I've invited Stephen Davis (of Transportation for America and totally helpful Commons contributor) to join Adam (our Community Manager), me, and whoever else wants to participate in a discussion about our favorite parts of Salsa Commons and a wish list for the future. If you receive my weekly "Friday Fiesta" emails, you know I'm good at rambling and eating. Please consider witnessing both in person on Friday, June 25 at 1:15 p.m.
