Initially a reluctant blogger, I launched Nonprofit Tech 2.0 It was much more traffic than I would have ever thought possible, but thanks to the burgeoning “Nonprofit Organizations” communities that I had built on Facebook, Twitter and Myspace, launching a blog was much easier in 2009 than it was when I tried and failed in 2004.

And for that, I will be eternally grateful to MySpace and the “Nonprofit Organizations&# MySpace community. It’s hard to explain to those who don’t use MySpace, but the “Nonprofit Organizations&# brand would not be what it is today had I attempted to start it on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube.

His success has been mixed on these accounts; attendance more than doubled in the past two years, and the budget has been righted at a much lower level than previously attained, but the financial health of the organization is in doubt and very, very dependent on mega-trustee Eli Broad. In some ways, this debate is fabulous.
