Nonprofit Tech for Good

DECEMBER 22, 2016

Then, in the late 2000’s nonprofits embraced social networking sites, first Myspace and YouTube, then Facebook and Twitter. Now, in the late 2010’s, we’re on the verge of yet another seismic shift that will have a profound impact upon online communications and fundraising – the rise of digital payment systems.

For 2012, watch how the early adopters use text messaging to drive traffic to their mobile content and inspire donors to give through mobile channels.

I like to think of group text messaging campaigns as the e-newsletter of the Mobile Web – just much shorter. Now that same concept is emerging in mobile communications. Text messaging campaigns help keep supporters engaged and informed, and can significantly increase traffic to nonprofit mobile websites and smartphone Apps.

One of the big issues about social network platforms was that once Facebook made its platform available, and MySpace and LinkedIn followed, it looked like developers would have to port their apps to each social network. Basically, if the more social network sites that adopt OpenSocial, the more open the whole thing gets.

MySpace, Facebook, and many other businesses have realized that they can give away the tools of production but maintain ownership over the resulting products. Nick Carr, one of my favorite smart dudes, calls it digital sharecropping : What’s being concentrated, in other words, is not content but the economic value of content.

As part of Microsoft Outlook 2010, features allow people to connect with their Facebook and MySpace accounts (the service already allowed you to connect Outlook to LinkedIn). According to a recent study, more people are connecting with social media on their mobile devices than on desktops.

While that’s still true, blogging as a tool for nonprofits needs to be re-evaluated in 2010. MySpace and Facebook weren’t being utilized by nonprofits in 2007 (except for a few early adopters) and Twitter did not exist. I have icons for Twitter, MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, etc. 4) To build community around your mission.

What websites were your visitors on right before they visited your site [Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace]? So, I think this poll is very telling: POLL: Is your nonprofit monitoring your Website stats to see how much traffic is coming from Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, LinkedIn Groups, etc.? How long are they on your website?
