Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

APRIL 23, 2008

I was particularly interested in examples using blogs, Twitter, Flickr, Youtube, and Facebook. The Museum solicited photographs from artists via an open call on their website, Facebook group, Flickr groups, and outreach to Brooklyn-based arts organizations. Here's the description of how they used flickr for the exhibition.

We have a robust social media presence on all the sites you'd expect: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, and our blog. We did some research around this issue and published a white paper detailing the case for integrating time-honored emergency response expertise with real-time social input.

I like using them as an example of a successful use of social web tools for advocacy because the tools were integrated into their overall campaign strategy: 1. They created a Flickr petition where they asked people to post a photo of themselves with a sign that says, "I support Ethiopian coffee farmers."

Thing is, once you have paid the admin, the cash value of the flickr ‘donation’ barely makes it worthwhile – even for the 5 account max per charity. Presentation looks great and also some really good points made in it too, will be interesting to see how they move forward with integrating social media.
