OCTOBER 7, 2011

Note from Beth: While many of us focus our attention on FB pages, Facebook groups can be a good platform for nonprofits to use for informal peer learning groups, getting feedback from your post passionate fans , or to cultivate and support a brand ambassadors group.

Twitter should be used for cultivation, not broadcasting. Focused engagement, with direct messages, replies, and retweets required a different process and purpose than broadcast messages. When it came to blogger outreach, a Google Doc was the preferred and successful tool. Stacey uses it for one-to-one personal connections.

We hear this feedback and will continue to work on improvements. As a consultant working for an agency, sometimes there can be some issues with sharing "institutional knowledge" but all of the presenters I saw -- orgs and agencies alike -- were totally open and honest and it is a delight to be in that kind of company. Flat out, fail.
