Earlier we wrote about how Anna Hazare’s ‘fast unto death’ movement created an uproar on Facebook and Twitter and how more than 400,000 people have already pledged their names on the online petition. Clearly, India’s unified voice is increasing in volume day-by-day, supporting Anna Hazare’s campaign for the Lokpal Bill.
Everything came like a storm and we understand it is difficult to keep a track of what’s happening. To make it easier, we have created a guide that sources the best new media and touch points to get you involved through the Internet.
1. Twitter: Real-time updates on the movement
Not surprising, Twitter is the best tool to get real-time information. But one really needs to break through the clutter to get the correct information. Following the right keywords and hashtags are important. For this movement keep track on keywords like:
More news feeds can be searched on Twitter web or using advanced Twitter search if you need any form of customization on keywords .
Interesting tools like Twitscoop are also great for catching real-time conversations creating multiple columns on once screen for different keywords. This makes it easier for consuming the data within the clutter that flows on twitter.
2. Facebook: where it all started
23 million Indians on Facebook tells us why we cannot ignore the activities on this social platform. All activities about Anna Hazare and India’s fight against corruption can be tracked via “India Against Corruption” Facebook community page. There are at least 6-7 updates per hour that provide useful information to track the movement and also participate in it by RSVP-ing in events. Buzz on Facebook also provide a good source of information: Searching “Anna Hazare” on Facebook shows double the frequency of updates per minute than on Twitter.
