Ivan Boothe helped start the Genocide Intervention Network in 2004, and was responsible for communications, web development and social networking strategy.

Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JULY 19, 2006

In-world speakers from nonprofits who spoke about their work included Evonne Heyning from Camp Darfur, Barry Joseph from Global Kids , Lori Bell from the Library Alliance , and Marc Sirkin from LLS.

I liked the audio welcome message at this site. Save Darfur. s Web site. Here's a list of Nonprofit Myspaces that I visited quickly.

Museum 2.0

JANUARY 5, 2007

It’s not a game—there’s no goal or restrictions on how you use it—instead, it’s a technology platform for immersion and interaction, like the web. The Exploratorium did the solar eclipse, and the US Holocaust Memorial Museum is doing all kinds of programs around Darfur. Are we escaping reality when we use the web? Use the phone?
