How about Digg ? I thought one organization I was working with was getting great traffic from Digg, in part due to highly placed users who seemed to really like our stuff. But then we were approached by a high profile Digg user and asked to work out a reward for future links (i.e. he wanted to get paid for linking to us).

Several days later, Jonathan Colman set up a digg and announced it in the NpTech Friend Feed Room. It got 189 diggs. Once we get past the early adopted, will this cause major donor fatique and get in the way of fundraising success or will it become as accepted as direct mail, email fundraising, and on-air pledge drives?

Read blogs, get into social networks, register at Digg and then go sit in a corner and listen. Don’t sign your mass e-mails with just your company name (and most certainly do not include a scanned signature from your general director). And then you’ll probably fail some more. Don’t give up.

Make sure you are hooked up to an RSS reader such as Google Reader or Netvibes to monitor everything from Twitter to Blogs to what stories hit the front page of Digg. RSS feeds are your friends. Even something small could lead to something big if you know the networks of the people in your ecosystem. Don’t be a lurker.

Twitter & Digg? I was actually overwhelmed with mail (about ten times more than I usually get) and every single piece from a frustrated person inside of a non-profit. Diss non-profits for their marketing strategies by all means, but not for their lack of featuring in the top 100 on Twitter. Is that how we measure social impact now?
