Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

FEBRUARY 3, 2009

I guess I look at it like this: if you give a hundred people tools to lay bricks, you'll likely get a hundred small structures. I interviewed Ben Matthews who was part of the organizational group that dreamed up the Twestival concept in London in September 2008. He also had concerns about the apparent disjointed effort underway.

In this report, the authors describe three specific models for public participation: contribution, collaboration, and co-creation. In the collaborative model, visitors are invited to serve as active partners in the creation of an institutional project which is originated and ultimately controlled by the institution.

I learned to cultivate creative greed while working on Operation Spy at the International Spy Museum, where I was lucky to be working on a project that was so new to us that we didn't have any pre-established models or structures for doing it. The fastest growing demographics are over 35. This isn’t just a change in youth culture.

We announced 1stfans on December 5, 2008, and since then have had 272 1stfans from 15 states and 9 countries on 4 continents. In that sense, the project evolved from simply a conceptual one at the outset into one that was performative and collaborative--an Internet theatre of sorts. There are both virtual-only and local 1stfan members.

She’s also the founder of The Rooted Collaborative, which I think she’s going to tell you more about later on. My first time in really understanding what that meant was in 2008. And as Steven mentioned, my baby that I released into the world is The Rooted Collaborative. Flat structures have hidden hierarchy.

But last week, I took a new job with The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, working on a very different kind of project involving collaborative distributed exhibit design. So what does this collaborative platform look like? How much structure is motivating and how much becomes a chore? This is happening very, very quickly.

One of the most important take-aways from TransparencyCamp was the momentum and collaboration generated by the enthusiasm, generosity, and innovation of the individuals and groups coalescing around the idea that citizens have the right and the responsibility to know exactly what their government is doing and why. Thanks so much.
