I spent the last 3 days at the CASE District VII conference, for schools in AZ, CA, Guam, HI, NV, and UT. Very few speakers or attendees reported using these tools for fundraising, though. UC Berkeley talked about a badge that donors can post to their Facebook pages after making a gift ("I Feed The Bears").

In January, after the Haiti Earthquake struck, if you were participating on social networks, you couldn’t help but notice the many, many Tweets and Facebook status messages about the Haiti Earthquake. Conference attendees will be asked to download and join the Emergency Data Society. Hope you will too.

DailyBooth has a great layout, a built-in social networking component, and Facebook and Twitter integration, but uploading mobile photos can only be done through text messaging and their iPhone app (hopefully an Android version is coming soon). Take your smartphone to your next event! On location!&# have some fun with it.

According to a study by Blackbaud , NTEN and Common Knowledge, over 92% of nonprofit organizations have a presence on at least one social networking site, but most raise very little money through their social activity. Conferences dedicated to helping nonprofits learn how to leverage social media for social good are popping up.

Most nonprofits distribute the original source of the story to their communities (the New York Times , for example), but while that is generous, it does not help build the nonprofit’s brand recognition, e-newsletter list, or social networking communities; rather, it builds those of the New York Times.

Congrats on the huge success TAFA and props to Carie on being such a great social media evangelista! I wanted to make this a social conference.

Online social networking was just being born. They originally wanted to organize a conference to convene social innovators and social entrepreneurs on the nonprofit tech cutting edge to see what everyone was doing. The idea was to embed the functions of existing social sites like Meetup , Flickr , and del.icio.us.

Flickr by Leo Reynolds. Mention the word “network” to most people and their reactions tend to sway between these two polar extremes. It’s either “crowdsourcing is the answer to everything” –or it’s a complaint that social networks like Facebook and Twitter are just “too full of chatter.”.

We also offered workshops back at the conference location to handle the overflow demand. In 2007, we revamped the event so that volunteers no longer left the conference for the day and did two-hour strategy consults in the morning. Michaela Hackner , a talented photographer, was on hand to document the Day of Service on Flickr.

In yesterday's keynote, Charlene Li's key point was in the future, 'social networks will be like air.' In other words, it won't get in your way as you navigate across the web and it will feel inadequate (like you can't breathe) if your friends or social network or "social graph" isn't part of your everyday web experience.

Rashmi illustrates how social networks have and are evolving over the past five years from the perspective of an information architect/interaction designer/cognitive psychologist.
