They have been doing some great things in Schenley Park. Pittsburgh Parks Conservatory has set up on Facebook and Twitter to make it easier for you to follow their good work. The Mattress Factory does a great job of updating their Twitter account too.

What other Pittsburgh Organizations are you following on Facebook and Twitter?

Are you involved with an organization in Pittsburgh and want to get started with some social media outreach? I would start by setting up a fan page on Facebook.
