You need to pick the right hard data points (fancy way of saying metrics) that will help you harvest insights to improve your social media strategy. For blogging, you have to use a couple of different tools to get the different metrics you need. Visitors are people who visit your blog. Feedburner doesn't provide those.

A (blog) conversation strategy is how you support and nurture a conversation on your blog in the comments. It is a combination of how you will comment on other blogs, how you track the conversation, and how you respond to comments on your blog. I recently commented on Emily Williamson's blog.

When I was in Minnesota, one of the questions I got was about blogging and social networking policies. Now, I swear I remember seeing something from Easter Seals or another nonprofit on a listserv that mentioned either social networking policy or blogging policy. Do any nonprofits have a formal blogging policy?

I was curious how a large national network with local affiliates approaches a social media strategy in a networked way. Iavor says they started with an over arching strategy, "We had to think through what we do as a brand in the social space and how it relates to our business goals so we could deploy social media strategically."

Back in the old days, there was a very small community of peer that I could ask questions and learn from — we had a listserv! My work was as a trainer, to teach people who to use these tools strategically. That small community evolved into the organization – NTEN – the association for nonprofit techies.

I first met Amy Fox when she de-lurked on the Museum Computer Network listserv. Broadly, I'm researching how museums are using micro-blogging. If followers already subscribe to your blog and you only tweet blog posts, there is no reason for them to follow you on Twitter. Somehow that morphed into my thesis topic.
