Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JULY 19, 2017

In 2005, we got a chance to meet face-to-face in London at the Global Voices Blogging Summit after I transitioned from being the Cambodia bridge blogger. In 2007, over ten years ago, I launched a crowdfunding campaign to participate in the first ever Cambodian bloggers conference, organized by Tharu m and colleagues.

I want to see people’s real faces, and hear their real voices. In any event, I have a lot of other skills and knowledge besides databases and coding: skills and knowledge in teaching, in writing, in working with organizations, in facilitation, in religion and spiritual practices, and in working with people, that I want to use now.

In June 2007, I presented my first social media training to a small group of nonprofits in Lowell, MA. Originally published in the November 2011 issue of Fundraising Success Magazine where I have written a quarterly column throughout 2011. At the time, nonprofits were primarily only using Myspace and YouTube.

NOVEMBER 7, 2010

By summer of 2007, when I left the Spy Museum to move to California, the blog was a big deal. At AAM and ASTC in 2007, people I'd never met, people who would never talk to me the year prior, were eagerly approaching me saying, "Oh, you're Nina Simon!" I expected the museum blogosphere to explode in 2007 or 2008.
