On Tuesday, right before the KONY video exploded on the mainstreams and went viral online, my 6th grade son came home from school and announced, ”Did you know that there are more people on Facebook today compared to the number of people on the planet ten years ago? I immediately asked him how do you know that? What was your source?

Note from Beth: I’ve been working with John Haydon over the past week to get my Facebook Page ready to go (and it’s gonna rock can’t wait to show it off!).

It takes time to do that, so I’ve been posting screenshots of Nonprofit Facebook Pages and curating them on pinterest so other nonprofits can spend more time looking, versus hunting.

March 8, International Women’s Day , marks an occasion to celebrate the accomplishments of women worldwide. I’m honored to be working on some social media capacity projects to assist NGOs that are supporting women’s issues – from a learning exchange for Packard Foundation Grantees in Pakistan to a Women’s Leadership Network in Africa to the e-mediat that is working with many NGOs that support women and girls in the Arab World.

Like many of you, when Facebook unveiled the new brand page guidelines – I was stressed out. With a big training project in the Middle East less than a week away, I was short on time. And, if you’re photoshop and graphically challenged, making the switch to the new brand page format could cause a double whammy of panic. So, what you do?
