Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

SEPTEMBER 14, 2009

That post was one of my top ten posts for 2008 ! The original photo is on Flickr and caught the eye of an editor from Esquire Magazine who was looking for photos to illustrate a piece about wedding photos.

OCTOBER 26, 2007

I'm doing a workshop on Social Media Metrics, Measurement, and ROI at PodCamp Boston tomorrow. I'll be doing a presentation on a panel at the Museum Computer Network Conference in two weeks on this topic and in early 2008 for the Legal Services Corporation. Her example is a marketing example, of course, and business oriented.

Referrals - percentage of visitors by top ten sources for past 30 days (April, 2008). This past month, for the first time, Twitter is now the #2 referral of visits to my blog, but only 1/3 of those referrals are from my own tweets. I did a comparison of time on-site with top referrals and Twitter referrals stay longer than Google.

Museum 2.0

FEBRUARY 26, 2009

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.

I''ve spent much of the past three years on the road giving workshops and talks about audience participation in museums. I like to use half of any allotted time slot to talk and half for Q&A, so we usually have time to get into meaty discussions. In 2008, the conversation started shifting to "how" and "what."

"I think that people have long associated feminism with older white women and the idea of bringing that back to women of color, and bringing it back to young women of color and asking them what it means is an exciting time for me." In particular, it is important to think about what young women need to be thinking about in this moment of time.

I chatted with Bryant in early February about his new cookbook, food justice, how to eat cheaply in tough economic times, and course, the yumminess of food! I spent a lot of time with them when I was growing up. At the end of 2008, I initiated a new project called the Grow. or was there a particular path to it?

I thought, "What would happen if we began the process of aligning our heartfelt intentions, our energy, our time, and also our money to be able to benefit some particular causes?"
