It was an opportunity for people who participate with Ze Frank's projects online to come together in real space and connect with him and with each other. About 700 people participated over two days, including some who had traveled to Santa Cruz from London, Indonesia, and across the US. It was pretty freaking amazing.

For organizations, web stats are useful indicators of how many people are being reached by their message, the geographical spread of the visitors and whether or not a specific campaign was successful in driving traffic or creating actions (like donations, or letters, etc.) For one thing, feeding people is not what NTEN does.

Much of the my reflections and noodling on this idea has been around how existing nonprofits balance these two approaches. But what about those freeagent activists who have worked outside of the formal structure of a 501c-3. We decided to become a nonprofit in early 2008 and formed the Diabetes Hands Foundation in April 2008.

This post is to share my deck and comments from my lighting talk about failure at Good by Global at SXSW. She discovered people hold two mental headsets around failure – “Growth Mindset and Fixed Mindset.” Some people are extrapunitive—prone to unfairly blaming others. What did we learn from the experience?

As the platform matures , we’ll get a better sense of the power and potential of this network that lets people find, connect, and support social change organizations and issues.

This post was written by Jaime Kopke , the founder/director of the Denver Community Museum , a pop-up community-generated institution that ran from Oct 2008-April 2009. This post shares her reflections on the project, its design, and its impact. By far the most important elements though were the stories people shared.

Second, in 2008 and 2009, when the economy dipped and membership renewal rates started to soften, we started to think more seriously about the emotional factor of supporting the arts in the community. Some experiences completely cut across demographics - some people like parties, some people want a solitary experience with art.

" I think this statement still holds true, although with more people thinking about ROI and Social Media, practice is evolving. For example, in April 2007 I wrote 52 posts, but in April 2008 I wrote 61. Many people ask me "How often should I post?" In early 2008 it was slightly lower for several reasons.

People--especially young folks looking to break into the museum business--often ask me how I got here. I met lovely people in engineering, but I found the work to be too detail-oriented and microscopic in scope to satisfy me. We had only eight people doing everything related to content and programming at the museum.

If you have purchased a copy/subscription to the Journal with a corporate license, this means that it is for use by people within your organization. How can we talk about technology in social change, while, at the same time, publishing in a format that limits the availability of this knowledge to people privileged enough to pay for it?

Sometimes, the forward march of technology seems like this train I’m riding on – inexorably traveling down the track of capitalist profit while nonprofits are hanging on to those little hand-powered trucks that we, the people who serve them in this realm are working really hard to pump up and down, so we can try and gamely keep up.
