Define your goals: Are you looking to find volunteers, direct activists, recruit talent, or raise money?

Flickr Photo: mil8 One of the downsides of social media is that absolutely anyONE can say absolutely anyTHING at any time about you or your organization. SXSWi is underwritten by much more sponsorship money. And they don't feed you anything (while we provide 5 meals). And they will. Plus, the scale is different.

If you don’t have money to spend on a social listening platform now, try this approach to doing it for free. You can create RSS feeds from search parameters on lots of sites (like Twitter and Craig’s list for instance). You can do this all over the place, like YouTube, Flickr, etc. Basically boils down to this.
