The Giving USA Foundation’s annual report on charitable giving said that gifts were down in 2008, but not by much, 2%. Gifts to United Way and others who aggregate giving to mostly local, mostly poverty-focused work was up as well. People want to support winners, not those desperate for cash. And, overall, it is.

Mastering each tool individually seems like a lot of work and a lot of people give up even before they begin. However, very few people use these terms precisely and almost nobody agrees on the exact definition of these terms. In co-creation, the value lies as much in the curated aggregate as in the individual contributions.

In 2008, I wrote a post arguing that museums should focus on the pre-visit, not the post-visit, if they want to capture and retain visitors. I now realize that people can have a great experience and have NO CLUE what other opportunities (return visit, membership, in-depth programs) are available to them. Reader, I was wrong.
