ARC - social media team evaluate/watch everything and then send summary and highlights to team. How do you involve the org? Have you seen examples of your org changing? NWF - tag mentions in delicious with which programs or projects are mentioned, can share link to that tag on delicious with staff to see their section.

As I imagined a world without Nina Simon ’s Participatory Museum , I felt sad about all the visitors whose voices (and post-it note comments) weren’t honored.

Now we can create roll-up summaries on the campaign, and we can create record types for campaign membership. Org-wide email address in workflow rules: Love this.

Show notes - want to make a summary of your show for both itunes, etc. but on your site to tell people what the show is about: who’s the guest, who is the host, what are the orgs or links mentioned.

I did, however, find another excellent comment line at Emergency Trap Blog (he left a comment in one of the posts). I went through the typepad collection and installed (unstalled) a lot of them because, to be honest, some did not hold promise for a nonprofit org blog. I think they could work, but depends on your audience.
