NTEN’s 09NTC just wrapped up in San Francisco and many conversations at the conference focused on social media use by nonprofits. Do you provide different content or appeals to your Twitter followers than to your Facebook group? How you use Twitter is going to be different than how you would use Facebook Pages.

According to a study by Blackbaud , NTEN and Common Knowledge, over 92% of nonprofit organizations have a presence on at least one social networking site, but most raise very little money through their social activity.
