MAY 13, 2008

I'm doing a presentation on a panel called "Let's Get Social." I put together a wiki for this presentation which includes a set of conversations questions.

About a year ago, I did a lot of research on a screencast about widgets for nonprofits and put together two wikis - Nonprofit Widgets (for a session at 2007 NTC Conference) and Fundraising Widget. Alas, travel schedule prevented me from hearing it live, but Peter posted his slides and examples. Here's the links to examples he mentions.

Can you tell us some examples of how Excel is superior or more supple than Calc? There’s no reason that OpenOffice Calc *couldn’t* take the lead and go past Excel, especially with the socialized functionality I was talking about. at 7:28 pm I’m a rather modest user of Excel or OpenOffice.org’s Calc.

And even if they were, they might not integrate well (For example, I use three different Basecamp accounts – which don’t integrate with each other.)

I’ll have follow up posts on specific examples of this integration using open source tools (on one end or the other, or both.) I know a lot of the free site tools, wikis like wetpaint.com, keep trying to move to become more social, and let the audience/membership interact more – that is definitely related.

While it isnt always practical to set up a knowledge exchange, especially if youre communicating with a large and diverse group (the "general public," for example), a two-way flow of information is widely accepted to be most effective.

At Fort Mason on San Francisco Bay investors, fund managers and social entrepreneurs put their heads together to discuss what it will take to do better, and do more, in the space that lies between strictly nonprofit and strictly for profit. The social capital market is the arena that allows investors to "do well by doing good."

What's a wiki? Wikis are websites that are extremely easy for anyone (even you!) The most well-known example is Wikipedia , a user-generated encyclopedia which boasts over 6 million entries written and edited by about 30,000 volunteer participants. Its success can distort understanding of what makes a wiki work.

She didn't really know what a wiki was, but she liked the idea of it. There are two things that worry me about this: Museum executives are often fascinated by the social/cultural outcomes of social media but may not understand the specific characteristics of the platforms (and are too busy to spend their time learning them).
