The first example is Ushahidi – originally designed as a tool for mapping reports of violence in Kenya after the post-election unrest in 2008. The photo or video taken on a phone and then posted to the web can change the conversation, alert news media to issues or new developments, and change the course of response.

The data were collected in the summer of 2009 by asking people to reflect on their volunteering during all of 2008. On one of the pages, amid all the charts on who volunteers and what they do, is a big banner depicting the following result: "33 percent of Arizona adults volunteered in 2008." One in three. One in four.

It may be time to rethink how these important social organizations are funded. In 2008, Vermont became the first state to permit the creation of the L3C (Powell, Jackson-Zapata, & Kammerling, 2014), an entity that allows companies to achieve modest profits while operating under a business model that emphasizes impact over profits.

The staff concentrated on museum operation and just did not have time, energy or brain space to seriously explore the challenges of a new permanent exhibition. The minutes of meetings held in 2006, 2007, and early 2008 reflect a hurried and rather superficial process. The solution was to get impractical proposals on the table.

For example, in April 2007 I wrote 52 posts, but in April 2008 I wrote 61. So, if you are just starting up, pick a frequency that you can sustain over time. Calculating benchmarks should not take you more time than it is worth. So I'm not spending time to generate god's spreadsheet of monthly number of posts and words per post.

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?

Race is a remarkably social exhibit; visitors spend a lot of time pointing things out to each other and talking about them. When I wrote about this in 2008, I focused on the question of how to design exhibits to be optimized for "pointiness." Pointing is a social behavior that works best in physically proximate, real-time situations.

There were some snarky comments on Twitter and during the Q&A wasn't the best time for exploring and understanding different points of view. Nonetheless, in reflection, I wonder: Is it time to stop using the phrase "social media for social good" when we're talking about the use of social media for charity?
