How Much Time Does Web 2.0 Take?
framework, and David shared lessons learned from the huge range of projects the Holocaust Museum has initiated. The biggest question that came up again and again was: how much does it cost? In most cases, the audience wasn’t asking about money: they were asking about time. When David explained that each of the Holocaust Museum’s myriad comment boards, blogs, and online forums is moderated by a staff member, the audience turned a little green.

"Real-Time Subscription Service" - An RSS Primer For You
I have been thinking for quite some time about how somehow RSS (Real Simple Syndication, a name which is completely unhelpful - and not real simple - to those who need help understanding it) has a serious image problem.... And what does that mean? It means you can get the information from that webpage sent to you, every time the page is updated. (More on that in a minute).

Community Organizer: 10-20 hours per week
But as Alison K notes in an article she wrote about social media and nonprofits, you get out what you put in.

Inspire: create, collect, share! My time at the '09 NTC
I literally just rolled off the red-eye back from the 2009 Non Profit Technology Conference (NTC '09), and although I'm exhausted - both physically and mentally - I'm hopeful and excited about everything I heard and saw.
This year I was fortunate enough to play a very active role at the conference. On Sunday I hosted a Flickr Bootcamp, where I worked with non profit, "accidental techies," and helped them learn about better online photo sharing techniques.

The lesson: you can achieve goals by "showcasing the intimate stories of your organization."
Knowing your audience
Before starting, it's important to know who your audience is: are they visitors, volunteers, or prospective members? Similarly, you must determine what action you want these people to take: it can range from giving money or time to simply becoming engaged in a cause.

Viva the Time on Site, The Page View is Dead!
While one site may count a view every time the play button is clicked,
another might only count finishes. Further complicating the issue is
how sites calculate views on embedded videos, page refreshes, and views
from the same IP address. Therefore, an advertiser looking to use
viewership data to allocate ad inventory or place viral videos has no
comparative ability at this point in time...). Last week, I noticed a few posts about " measuring engagement " that caught my eye. These articles, of course, were talking about metrics for virtual worlds.
