This morning the Washington Post published an article titled " To Nonprofits Seeking Cash, Facebook App Isn't So Green: Though Popular, 'Causes' Ineffective for Fundraising.... It doesn't work that way." And, as Tech Hermit blog notes, there was quite a discussion about this on Twitter.

Washington Post: Fundraising Via Email Is Way More Effective than via Social Networks
Show me the money." That’s what nonprofits are asking of Facebook Causes pages. The Washington Post did a great article today that reinforces the value of nonprofits' using email as a core fundraising strategy rather then social networks.

Access and Washington
I sure hope so. It's great to see someone still using one of our products to access books for this length of time.

But, like many social entrepreneurs, I'm beginning to figure out that being absent from the halls of policy is not serving our mission.

Earned Media: How to Stay Relevant and Track It
8220;If you don't brand yourself, Google will brand you,” says branding expert Sherry Beck Paprocki. Yes, it’s true and that’s why it’s important for all nonprofits that are advocating for causes to start becoming a part of the conversation publicly and not just behind closed doors or on “the hill.” Think about it. When the NYT writes about climate change is your environmental group quoted?
