Your nonprofit needs a square avatar for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, your blog, Foursquare, Gowalla, TwitPic, etc. In some cases all your designer will need to do is increase the canvas size of your logo to create an avatar, or simply crop out a graphic within your logo that can be used as your avatar.

MySpace estimates that 50% of its Website traffic will be mobile within 24 months.

At the time, nonprofits were primarily only using Myspace and YouTube. The media had made Myspace, and social networking in general, out to be dangerous, life-threatening even.

You’re on MySpace, you use the FaceBook Causes application, you keep constituents informed on Twitter, you show your event pictures on Flickr, you share videos on YouTube, and you know the power of blogging tools like WordPress or Blogger. So, your nonprofit is socially networked. In short, you’re well invested in Web 2.0.

Make new friends (Google+) and keep the old (Myspace). They move with you from one site to the next and maybe in the case of Myspace, back again. That’s something we will learn by watching Justin Timberlake re-launch Myspace in 2012. I got my start on Myspace , so personally I would love to see the community revitalized.

Ask for your raise first, and then ask for a budget for graphic design work (avatar, Twitter background, YouTube Channel background, Facebook banners, etc.), premium services (WordPress themes, Flickr Pro, Facebook custom Tab generators, etc.), Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. The era of winging it in social media is over.

Blogger, LinkedIn and Myspace launched in 2003, and yet nine years into the Social Web the vast majority of nonprofits have not invested any financial resources at all into graphic design for their social media campaigns. You need Twitter and YouTube backgrounds that make a strong first impression. You need a good avatar.

For example, you don’t need to spend an abundance of time on MySpace if the service doesn’t match the demographic you’re wanting to reach. It isn’t vital that you post to Twitter AND Pownce AND Jaiku or that you upload photos to Flickr AND Picasa AND Photobucket. Invest fully in a few tools, and use them well.
