While a growing number of charities are developing presences on social networking
sites, far fewer fundraising consultancies and agencies have done so. DialogueDirect,
however, the international face-to-face fundraising company, is one of the few that
has done so.

It has developed a distinctive page style, published adverts for new recruits; posted
blog entries, videos and photos; and currently has 1,554 ‘friends’, who have contributed
81 comments. One of its two videos not surprisingly sings the praises of face-to-
face fundraising with interviews with some of its fundraisers:
