It originally appeared on NetSquared. For example Edgeflip , a new initiative plans to turn the ad hoc data analysis tools developed for the campaign into software that can make nonprofits more effective at raising money and recruiting volunteers. The tool can embed video, audio, photos and data visualizations easily with text.

I missed the post about flickr use by MoveOn on netsquared when I was in London earlier this month. The article points out that adhoc groups have formed on flickr to support photo sharing and organizing around political topics, but MoveOn's use of flickr is on a larger scale. MoveOn's flickr home page and flickr tags page.

As I mentioned in my November 3rd post , I am working as a Community Builder with NetSquared , a project of Tech Soup. You can hear last month's speakers, Chris Messina from Flock , CompuMentor's Marnie Webb and yours truly, on the NetSquared Channel on Odeo. I'm double blogging right now, here and on the NetSquared blog.

Because many of CUAV's volunteer bloggers were more knowledgeable about issues such as the trans-phobic tactics that were being used by the lawyers, they were able to address many issues that the mainstream media missed. Urban Sprouts , a school gardening program, allows volunteers, as well as staff, to post on their blog.

I scanned, uploaded, and organized photos of Leng as well as our communications into photo sets on flickr. Should have set up a campaign tag to track blog posts, etc. The campaign tag is: sopharath. And give those blog posts good technorati tags so people can find them. I used the ChipIn campaign page feature.

Ask your organization's web site udience to upload their video clips to whatever video service you're using and tag them with your organization's tag. (I I realized that I only thought about this in the context of project - for example capturing video (plus text, photos, etc) from a conference.). Off to consume those now!

Last week, we reported on a recent NetSquared London Meetup that investigated the IT tools that can be used to operate nonprofits inexpensively and effectively. The 50-plus people who attended the recent NetSquared London Meetup all had a chance to nominate and vote for their favorite productivity tools. Web Analytics.

For example, the Social Actions API pulls together volunteer opportunities and social actions from over 60 different sources – that way we can all re-purpose calls to action from across the web. That tag then became a rally point that brought people together and supported a community to emerge. But we need new resources, too.
