Typical wiki communities are work groups within a company, educators and students, and hobbyists. The idea came from NetSquared community organizers who were eager to share their best practices and experiences and saw a wiki as the ideal platform. By far the most recognized wiki is Wikipedia.

I'm thinking about the use of video or vlog posts coupled with fundraising widgets as well as some other possible ways (ad revenue from web videos?) to raise money for sponsoring a college student in Cambodia via the Sharing Foundation. I did a campaign video. I don't know what I mean yet. I contributed. They take 50%.

Shortly before the Blogher July 2005 conference, I got a new digital camera that came with a video feature. At the conference, I attended a session on video blogging with Ryanne Hodson and was inspired to go play in a vlog sandbox. Lots and lots of technical questions -- from file formats to what video distribution service to use.

Mongkol, a Cambodian college student who is studying in the US on a Fullbright Scholarship and knows the importance of a college education had this to say. I create two versions of the campaign video , one for YouTube and on Revver. College students are excellent small-time fundraisers, and will often throw benefit parties.

Whether it’s social media platforms or content that has captured the interest of the community – from citizen journalism to video storytelling. I spoken with various libraries who, when they learned about the NetSquared Local program asked why they couldn’t participate – and I told them that of course they could! Getting Started.

For the past year, I have been writing for NetSquared about nonprofits and NGOs that are using the social web to cultivate donors, advocates and activists for their organization and their cause. What makes us write a donation check, spread the word about a campaign, or show up for a meeting or protest? Emotional connection. For more info.
