According to a study by Blackbaud , NTEN and Common Knowledge, over 92% of nonprofit organizations have a presence on at least one social networking site, but most raise very little money through their social activity. Conferences dedicated to helping nonprofits learn how to leverage social media for social good are popping up.

Live-tweeting -- the kind of tweeting where you replay to your Twitter followers what people are saying at an event in real time -- is something that seems to be gaining popularity at conferences around the nonprofit circuit. It can be fun to do on your own (like at NTC 2011 ), but it can have real benefits for your organization too.
