Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

JANUARY 11, 2010

One of the reasons is that there are a number of really good bloggers out there who know the field far better than I’ll ever be able to. I would argue that Beth Kanter is the best social media blogger there is in the nonprofit space. You don’t hear me talking much about social media.

I took some much-needed time off in December and was able to spend some down time reflecting on the future of social media and mobile technology for the nonprofit sector. Bloggers and #NPTech folks sometimes use language that is a little too technical for nonprofit staff who have no formal training in computer technology.

FEBRUARY 3, 2010

The world doesn’t need another blogger, right? While that’s still true, blogging as a tool for nonprofits needs to be re-evaluated in 2010. It consistently amazes me that the posts nonprofits read the most (anything about Facebook ) are not the ones that I think they’d be most interested in (mobile technology ).
