Nonprofit Tech for Good

DECEMBER 2, 2009

As I spent the Thanksgiving weekend pondering gratitude, MySpace made the top of my list of things to be grateful for. If it were not for MySpace, my professional life no doubt would be much less fulfilling. And for that, I will be eternally grateful to MySpace and the “Nonprofit Organizations&# MySpace community. MySpace was designed to be a marketing tool. MySpace was and still is (for some) the easiest social networking site to grow a community quickly.

Over the past year, I've noticed a strange trend in the calls I receive about upcoming participatory museum projects: the majority of them are being planned for teen audiences. A large number of the collaborative projects of which I'm aware (in which staff partner with community members to co-develop exhibits or programs) are initiated with teens. Why are teens over-represented in participatory projects? Teens are a known (and somewhat controllable) entity.

Nonprofit Tech for Good began as a “Nonprofit Organizations” Myspace Page in 2005. Unlike many teens, tweens, and Milllennials, I did not enjoy using Tumblr. Nonprofit Tech for Good needs to reach nonprofit professionals and with the Tumblr userbase being predominately tweens and teens, it’s not a good fit. But for nonprofits trying to reach teens and young Millennials, Tumblr could work well along with Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat.

Launched in 2011, Snapchat is an image and video messaging app that is very popular with tweens and teens and increasingly Millennials and Gen Xers. Similar to the early days of Myspace and its users mastering HTML hacks and widgets, Snapchat has an equally dedicated user base of young people that pride themselves on becoming skilled at Lenses, Filters, Stickers, and other Snapchat tips, tricks, and hacks.

Imagine a typical Internet surfer and your first thought might be of a teen or young adult, not a grandparent or retiree.

An interesting point about using MySpace: "It can definitely be used for recruitment and as a mass communications tool, particularly for younger voters who tend to use email less. The key is to move MySpace friends onto normal advocacy lists as soon as possible.

When you think of MySpace, what is the first thing that comes to mind? The recent flurry of restrictions that has sent teens fleeing?
