NetSquared’s February series exploring “Online Community Organizing” includes three different interviews; I’m really excited to participate! I’ve included my interview below, but you can also read it and join the conversation on the NetSquared blog. I definitely recommend them both!

.&# It is a chance to connect in real time, share ideas, and generally have space to explore ideas or questions that we have encountered during the week as we push ahead with our various jobs, projects and goals in the nonprofit and technology sector. Please note, and this is key, that these are goals for the people operating in this space.

Rapid advances in digital media and technology are changing how we connect to information and each other. In this post, we hope to voice many of the tools, resources, and tactics that have been shared, in hopes of encouraging others around the world to get involved with the digital relief efforts."

There are many who approach the online landscape with very different views than their offline business decisions. I can’t speak for others working in the “innovation sector,&# but at NetSquared we can’t emphasize enough that our Community is what drives us – whether’s it’s online or offline.

Amy Sample Ward, NetSquared. Whether we look at mapping tools, fundraising, or missing person systems, the social media response to the January earthquakes in Haiti all leverage the powerful technology we can hold in our hands: our mobile phones. Now we have technology catching up with our responses times. How can we do that?
