Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

DECEMBER 28, 2008

Beth's Birthday Cause I was listening to a story on Marketplace on NPR this afternoon with Tess Vigeland and Chris Farrell who reviewed their 2008 financial goals and graded themselves on their accomplishments. Chris Farrell set a 2008 goal to make his charitable giving a monthly activity, not a mad rush in December.

It's a place for Scratch users to upload, share, and remix their Scratch projects. For any project, you can "love it" (which is like giving it a thumbs-up), "add it to your favorites" (which is a private collecting function), "flag it as inappropriate," and write comments about it. You can also remix other projects.

These principles will no doubt be copied, refined, remixed, and extended as nonprofits experiment with social media-powered fundraising techniques: Weaving Together Online/Offline Into Real Time Web Fundraising Events. As we march into 2010, might we see the invention of Real Time Web fundraising events?

Their questions made me think about a blog post I wrote in 2008, The Future of Authority. Our collective understanding and savviness about the power online platforms wield--for good and ill--has greatly increased since 2008. This does not mean we are giving all the power to visitors. With no further ado, enjoy this post.
