You can follow her on Twitter. And surveys show that we want to help — so there is a desire. This post was penned by guest blogger MeiMei Fox , who is a social media consultant, life coach, yoga instructor, and writer.

The Best from the Nonprofit Technology Community

This was a follow-up from this post where I laid out 4 step for setting up an organizational Twitter account. Twitter can be a great space for building community around your membership-based organization, whether you work for a professional society, trade association or a cause-related nonprofit.

We're working with one group who had exactly this scenario - a fairly big event coming up quickly, and members asking about their social media presence, and they figured they should just jump in and set up an official Twitter account to see what would happen.

I was recently asked to do a quick summary of this post by Guy Kawasaki, "Looking for Mr GoodTweet: How to Pick Up Followers on Twitter" which has been doing the rounds. Eventually, this will become too much to deal with and you can choose to follow only people whose Twitter profiles show that they are relevant to you. My take?
Twitter’s new Lists are a great way to organize your followers, and with a little intention and a dose of good will, Twitter Lists can also be used to promote your favorite nonprofits and the causes you care about. Example Tweets: Good use of Twitter Lists by @ NationalNOW to organize NOW chapters @ NationalNOW/nowchapters !
Originally, I thought I'd write this post in order to summarize the comments to this post on Twitip , which posed the question of how to fundraise on Twitter and requested help from readers in the comments. But I actually found a lot more ideas after a quick Twitter request, so here's what I've come up with so far.

find the theme about Twitter being all about what people eat for lunch totally irritating at this point. But Twitter has evolved far beyond that now - and if some of us by some bizarre twist of fate are still only reading those kinds of tweets, then clearly we are not following the right people.

Well, I did have a little help from Twitter, which allowed me to cut a path directly to the top of the pile and interact with some brilliant minds about the effects of the micro-blogging sensation. It won’t necessarily be “Twitter” the name brand, just like most people don’t stop to think if it’s AIM or Yahoo! It’s simple.
