Problems Campaigns Face: Riffing from PDF
We are in a unique moment of people organizing. At this time, our culture becomes both increasingly tied together and fragmented ( danah boyd ). Organizers dreamed for years to be able to reach millions of people (YouTube) and they pined for the day thousands of allies could collaborate in synchronizing efforts (Iranelection ish) to agitate for change of culture, industry or policy.

Build a Nonprofit’s Technology Assets from the Ground Up, Part 1 of 2
However, that’s OK. Failure IS an option. Steering blindly? Not so much.
People
Nothing works without people. This means hiring savvy computer using staff and getting people on your board who know things about technology. Be aware that “computer people” come in all different stripes and it may be difficult to judge a person’s value from the outset. Generally speaking, I just look at previous projects they worked on.

People, Tools and Help, but mostly People
Each of these folks has a lot to say about using social media tools as a way for people, from non-profits or not from non-profits, to reach out and generate some support for any cause and generate change in the world.
I came away from the experience with a clear message, that it all starts with one person deciding to act. If one person acts to help another, then at least two people know about it.

Twitter Primer Redux - 9 ways to find people to follow on Twitter.
I was asked last night about how I find people to follow on Twitter, so I thought I'd turn that into a quick post. Twitter is an incredibly useful tool but it's easy to miss out, if you don't follow people who can give you whatever insight you are looking for.

The workshop was part of a professional development series organized by the very capable Kendra Lawton, with help from Melissa Cooper.

"Listening" vs. "Asking" to Find Out What People Think
I'm doing a bit of research of late about using online tools to find out what people think about your organization. It's an interesting area - there's a vast number of tools (many very similar to each other) that can help you monitor and listen to what people have to say online and a big body of useful best practices and case studies about how to use them...!

Social Network Demographics: Is there a middle ground between email is for old folks, social networking sites are for young people?
Of course, one could also argue that if the bulk of your audience is from the baby boomer and older and you don't plan to reach out to younger people -- perhaps social networking sites are not the best Internet strategy for your organization.
The question is when the baby boomers start dying off and the younger generation comes into its own, will they look like that those people in the video above?

I did some additional research on Facebook to look at how different nonprofit people fill out their individual profiles.... B) Don't moon people with cameras (or at least hide your face when you do).
