Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JULY 13, 2008

Are "the best" or "most influential" lists of bloggers a good thing or a bad thing? But in the last month, I've come across three "best of" type women blogger lists. In a recent post on Blogher, Virginia DeBolt mentions the list titled 100 Awesome Webmaster Blogs by and for Women by Jimmy Atkinson.

Photo by Ezster On Saturday, I attended BlogHer Boston. The networking was fabulous - meeting many new bloggers in the Boston area as well as seeing long-time blogher buddies and of course, Jory, Lisa, and Elisa. BlogHer always inspires me and this one did not fail. It was better than eating chocolate!

I'm gearing up to do some live blogging at blogher and NCDD. Over the past year, I've done a lot of live blogging which is basically taking notes at lectures, conferences, and presentations of what was said. At last year's blogher, someone said that live bloggers need to carry around a hip flask in their tool box!

Measure your reach not the “get”: With the huge opportunity social media offers to access new audiences in creative ways, it also presents a major “ownership” hurdle that is forcing nonprofits to shift the way they think about traditional acquisition. Here are a few of the highlights that I took away for nonprofits.

You don't necessarily see women keynote at technology conferences (well accept for women focused technology conferences like blogher ), but Geoff was trying hard ensure a gender balanced program and succeeded. more like the Berkman Center Thursday evening blogger meetups I used to attend from 2005-2007. This is just a sampling.
