Idea: Level 2 Social Media

This is an idea page about "Level 2" social media where the media is used to help "other" people.

• Most social media is aimed at allowing people to use it for themselves. We're calling this "level 1" social media.
• Level 1 allows people to connect to new friends, old friends, services and a variety of useful resources for themselves.
• The idea behind Level 2 social media is that the User has "clients." The clients can be friends, relatives, members of their church, neighbors, or actual clients of a social service organization. The users can be individuals, neighborhood leaders, neighborhood "helpers," social workers, political operatives, or anyone who wishes to be helpful to people that are not themselves.
• A unique characteristic to level 2 social media is the potential for making matches. Match-making is therefore one of the uses for level 2 social media.
