FAQ

What is a Mobilizer?

Mobilizers are people who share the latest news and information like blog posts, events, contests, and more using social networks like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

How do I become a Mobilizer?

Connect one of your networks using the buttons on the sign-up page and we'll walk you through the rest of the process!

Do I have to connect all my social media accounts in order to participate?

Nope! You can use any combination you would like. Of course, the more social networks you connect to, the more opportunities you will have to share.

How are permissions and privacy handled?

Mobilizers never have content posted to their social networks without being explicitly notified.

How do I share content?

You will receive an email when we have new and exciting content to share. Each email contains a status update and link to the content we're sharing with you. We will never auto-post content on your networks. Click the Share Now button and choose the social networks you want to share to.

Will content auto-post to my social networks?

No, SocialToaster will never automatically share content on your networks without explicit approval on your part.

The website automatically uploaded my profile picture from my Facebook page. If I change my profile picture on Facebook, would it automatically change on this site as well?

Yes, any time you change your profile picture on Facebook it will update on SocialToaster's page as well.

How do mentions using keywords work?

Mentions work by looking for hashtags or keywords in your social media posts. Write your own tweet or status update using all required keywords to earn points. You can write these posts through your UMass Amherst Minute Mobilizers account under the "Earn More points" tab, or you can write them through your personal Facebook account. 

How do I submit an image to a pic challenge?

First connect your Instagram account. Then tag the pic with the required hashtag(s) and handle(s). Your Instagram account must be viewable to the public for your entries to qualify, limit one per day.
