Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

MARCH 21, 2010

I actually have a repertoire of stories, but one of them is about Michaela Hackner ( Kalabird.) I connected with her through her amazing photos of Cambodia on Flickr when I was covering the Cambodian blogosphere for Global Voices over five years ago. We also "checked in" using FourSquare and Gowalla everywhere.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

MAY 11, 2009

I have used social media to help raise the money for her tuition through the Sharing Foundation in 2007 and 2008. Cambodia brought me my two beautiful children and I felt strongly that we should give back to the country in some way. My motivation was a simple act of reciprocity (not what you might read in some of these comments ).

By the time you read this post, I’ll be in Cambodia. For those of you who have been following my blogging since 2004, you know why Cambodia is in my heart! We promised the monk that we would hold Cambodia in our hearts and travel back with our children to their birth country when they were old enough to appreciate it.

more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. Here's a few examples: Shireen Mitchell who I had never met face-to-face but who generously provided information about people of color and the social web via Twitter while I doing a workshop demo. That's rare in a conference setting.
