Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

JULY 7, 2009

Just yesterday I read a tweet that called the #nonprofit twitter tag a “cavernous echo chamber.” WEINGARTEN | Rolling Stone Music Critic| @1000TimesYes. People have awful taste…it’s all this music that rises to the middle, this boring, bland, white-people guitar music. It’s the music that the most people can listen to.

To Write Love on Her Arms and Invisible Children are two of the most well-known nonprofits that came out of MySpace. One reason I think the Christian community is so organized on MySpace is that both To Write Love on Her Arms and Invisible Children are (subtly) Christian organizations. Music and arts organizations, probably.

In the final analysis, in the days, weeks, months and years following these, and other mergers, no fewer people will be homeless, no fewer women will be battered, no fewer children will be hungry, no less environmental damage will be done, no more people who need it will get mental health services.

These kids see computers as tools for gaming, music, shopping, creating, and are imagining interfaces that suit their own interests and devices. All fun things to think about--and in this case, the thinking is inspired by designs created by children. Tags: children's museums design usercontent.

By a strange and lucky coincidence, I was at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum (EMPSFM) in Seattle for a two-day workshop. Michael Jackson belongs at EMPSFM (and visitors knew to find him there) because that museum is about pop culture and specifically music. Tags: visitors.

We're trying to contextualize museum content to their social groups, so that groups of friends can use exhibits as touch points for shared experiences--much as children's museums design exhibits explicitly for family use and learning. Tags: youth Talking to Strangers.

Will it be a plug and play experience or will my children ask me why I'm using the "f" word so much? Research the trick your IPOD music collection can live on different computers or at least be copied over. Did I really want to subject myself to changing my work habits when I'm under pressure to get things done?

A documentary film crew might use Kickstarter to pay for travel costs, or a dance troupe to pay for recorded music so they don't have to hire musicians for their live performances. In Seth's case, this paid real dividends as the adult children of some museum members began donating and spreading the word.

The five types Elaine defines are: object-centered (focus on STUFF) narrative (focus on STORY) client-centered (focus on AUDIENCE, children's and science museums fall here) community (focus on SELF-EXPRESSION, community and cultural centers fall here) national (government-sponsored) Each of these types has its strengths and challenges.

Imagine a music store where each CD lists the names of the last 20 people to pick it up, and what those people ultimately bought. Children's museums are the exception; staff are on the watch for unaccompanied adults and kids alike. I once worked in a children's museum once where all the floor staff wore blue vests.

Elaine points out that children's museums and children's areas in particular are often designed to encourage seemingly unsupervised play opportunities for kids while also providing seating for adults to engage socially while watching the action. Is it okay for people to express themselves artistically or musically in the galleries?

It's interesting that science museums have started to gravitate towards "center" to convey interactivity, and yet childrens' museums are rarely called centers and don't seem to suffer under the Museum label (though drunken variations of the Funatarium abound).

And I wrote two books which are also like my other two children. But what works best, music, humor, entertainment, surprise, relatability. It’s focused on music and video effects. There’s differences in the duet feature on TikTok and music that’s available on TikTok. So that’s what works best.
