Note from Beth: Every now and then, I get asked when did you first discover the power of the social web? Somewhere around 2006 or 2007, I got a call from Michaela asking for advice on a career path for Nonprofit Technology.

In December 2006, I launched my first experiment in using social media for fundraising - raising $800 on my blog to help send Leng Sopharath, a young Cambodian woman, to her freshman year at college. I have used social media to help raise the money for her tuition through the Sharing Foundation in 2007 and 2008.

The audience consisted mostly of social media early adopters who shared terrific insights that come from having a sense of context. more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. It helped me write this post - " What Color is the Social Web? ". That's rare in a conference setting.
