Organizations can't create a profile on Facebook — only a page or a group. Pages are essentially like personal profile pages for businesses, but they have more features and interactive options. Promote community interaction by inviting reader feedback through questions, and then be sure to respond to comments. Help foster that.

Twitter is a great tool for getting your message out in a method that spreads quickly. When you make a post, it gets added to your followers' Twitter feeds and if they re-tweet your content, everyone following their Twitter feed sees what you posted, and their followers can re-tweet said info, and so on, and so on.
