In Philadelphia, many polling places are difficult to find, hidden deep in the recesses of schools, churches, and community centers. The required paper signage identifying polling places must only be posted by the entrance of each location, which means they are often located on side streets out-of-view for anyone on the sidewalks.

I have been mulling this post over for months, and with some recent changes made by Facebook, the time has come. At a training last week with a lot of long-time Facebook Admins in the room, I saw much head-nodding and eyes rolling. I think the time has come for nonprofits to examine Facebook a little deeper. Reconsider.

There are three general types of sources to find widgets to install on your organization's blog or web site: 1. So, if you are already using one of those services and want to integrate content onto your blog, check on their web site first.

A majority of donors, 51%, were, "not at all interested" following organizations that they care about through blogs, social networks, and RSS. The findings suggest that the benefits are rather shallow, and that blogging, but not social networking, might be most useful to nonprofit outreach. For me it was like flicking a switch.

I have been doing the social media thing for almost 4 years and I took granted that most nonprofits are doing the basics in terms of measuring ROI, but recent polls I presented on Twitter speak otherwise. Are you building community on Twitter or just pushing out press releases and blog posts [that in time people start to ignore]?
