As a social media specialist at MomsRising.org and a Latina who has published a blog for seven years, has two Facebook pages, a Twitter account, a LinkedIn page and now a newly opened Pinterest account, easily the biggest misconception I have encountered is that Latinos are not online. We, too, are online, but the fiesta is at Twitter.

A lot of organizations focus more of their engagement efforts on Facebook than Twitter. Twitter can be a great platform to engage with people though, if campaigners take the time to have back and forth discussions and not just use Twitter to promote blog posts, press releases or fact sheets. Plus it can be a noisy space.
