Mozilla has always spread first and foremost by word-of-mouth. As more and more social networking venues appear, there are more and more potential communications channels. As the launch of Firefox 3 showed, the power of word-of-mouth through a wide variety of communications channels helped start a record-breaking level of participation.

These are just some of the sites where someone can share content. Here's a (non-exhaustive) list of different social media Mozilla Reps might be interested in using to spread the word about Mozilla and their activities:

Blogging and Tagging

Using specific tags so that other people can find your content is particularly useful when blogging about Mozilla, or sharing other content, such as videos or photographs.

The following are examples of tags that have been used in the past for Mozilla events.

Social Networks

Here are just some of the social networks Mozilla Reps might already be using. If they have a Mozilla network or group, Mozilla Reps are encourafed to join them or start a new Mozilla group!
