Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

NOVEMBER 13, 2006

I'm thinking about the use of video or vlog posts coupled with fundraising widgets as well as some other possible ways (ad revenue from web videos?) I read on Netsquared about how Creative Commons is trying to raise money with its video on Revver and am trying it out. I did a campaign video.

SEPTEMBER 7, 2006

At the conference, I attended a session on video blogging with Ryanne Hodson and was inspired to go play in a vlog sandbox. I was also curious to see whether there were nonprofits using vlogs to promote their causes. Now almost a year later, there is renewed interest in vlogging and nonprofits. Here's a synthesis. The Issues.

Alex is a great example of a change blogger. Britt Bravo wrote a post several months back defining the term: people who are using their blog, podcast or vlog to raise awareness, build community, and/or facilitate readers/listeners/viewers' taking action to make the world a better place. I just donated a small amount to his effort!

I was up too late editing a screencast to do a content analysis yesterday, instead I found a great thread on Nonprofits and Vlogging over at Social Edge facilitated by Patrick O'Heffernan. I realized that I only thought about this in the context of project - for example capturing video (plus text, photos, etc) from a conference.).

Last week I went to NetSquared's monthly San Francisco Meetup and talked with Japhet Els, Rainforest Action Network's Online Organizer. If you are interested in tools and examples of nonprofits using vlogging and digital storytelling to do their work, check out my notes from last week's NetSquared Meetup in San Francisco.
