Nonprofit Tech for Good

JULY 11, 2012

Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Creating Video Content : 15 Hours Weekly. As a starting point, all nonprofits should be investing time and resources in the “Big Three”: Facebook , Twitter , and YouTube. All nonprofits should also experiment with Twitter.

Nonprofit Tech for Good

JANUARY 16, 2012

I haven’t been this hooked on a new social networking site since I first got on Twitter in June 2008, and based on recent data released by comScore and Hitwise, Pinterest traffic is soaring. If you have a Twitter account, sign up with your Twitter username and password.

MAY 7, 2010

Note from Beth: It is strange sometimes how social networks can have your past, present, and future collide. I met James Leventhal via Twitter and we ended up working together on a project. Recently, James wrote about some interesting ways museums are using Twitter for offline/online engagement.

I remember the heady days, when most nonprofits didn’t even have networks, and some of them still didn’t have internet access. You can bet that the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections will not be a repeat of the 2008 election with such a massive differential in use of technology and social networks.
