Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

APRIL 29, 2010

  I've written about  how nonprofits can use it , including arts organizations like the Brooklyn Museum as chronicled on Shelley Bernstein's blog. In addition, the Museum has taken those tips and created a mashup with the YELP api.   Eugene Kim uses the metaphor of ant trails. Track volunteering efforts.

Doing a google map mashup of data in Drupal. I’d also have to cough up $50/year to get a google account that has the SSO API, but it might be worth it.
