Every fundraiser knows the role that social media users played in delivering dollars to the American Red Cross for disaster relief in Haiti and to Planned Parenthood for mammogram screenings in the wake of the Komen Foundation’s withdrawal of funding, but actually how social media delivers such results has been a bit of mystery.

We kicked off the conference with an interview style keynote about the Networked Nonprofit, moderated by fabulous Shireen Mitchell (aka digitalsista ).

It is just important to have the right level of expectation (not every campaign will match the Red Cross's $32 million for earthquake relief in Haiti), and to convey a sense of urgency to prospective donors.

Lately, more and more of my conversations with nonprofit fundraisers have turned to mobile technologies and how non-profits should be leveraging mobile to further their missions.

Why are they the same size as the person whom I casually had a short conversation with at a conference I don’t even remember?

I remember the chair I was sitting in when I first scrolled through my Twitter feed and learned of the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Ushahidi has had impressive growth over the past 18 months and most visible was its work with Haiti. When I work outside of the US, my process is to listen and observe as much as possible.
