My last visit to Cambodia was in 2007 and I remember how frustratingly slow the wifi felt compared to high speed access I enjoyed in the US. I was able to share photos , tweets , Facebook updates , and Instagram photos in real time. I met Sopharath in 2007 and recorded this interview.

Note from Beth: Last month I had the pleasure of presenting on a panel at Association of California Orchestras with Marc van Bree , an arts and social media blogger I met in 2007.

One of my most memorable Skype calls was when I had forgot to turn switch off SKYPE during a presentation to health care nonprofits about social media in 2007. The last good photo we took together was as “selfie,” although in 1963 we took one together using his Minox camera. He was an early adopter of SKYPE.

But your job in the nonprofit is to make it easy, to give them the tools to tell the story in the way you want it told, to have compelling photos and media materials that they can use, to easily provide links for others to donate. This has always happened, but the web has made it happen so much the more better.
