flickr photo: woodleywonderworks November is member appreciation month, and we set today aside specifically to thank our amazing NTEN members, and to help them celebrate each other. If you're on Twitter, just thank your favorite NTEN member(s) and include #ntenthanks in your update. Of course, I'm also sending out some NTEN love in those places, but what I really want to say can't be said in 140 characters or less. The NTEN community moves some incredible discussions forward.

The folks in the Technology Affinity Group (TAG) , as part of the Council on Foundations , have a lot in common with the NTEN community. In fact, many folks in the NTEN community are also part of TAG, and vice versa. With that in mind -- and because I'm sure the folks at TAG have noticed the general awesomeness of the NTEN community -- they're inviting you to submit session proposals for their 2009 TAG conference, which will be held in November in San Antonio, TX.

NTEN & TechSoup have teamed up to deliver a series of webinars on storytelling and social media - and I’m the presenter for the first one! Tags: tags webinar presentation techsoup nten bookmarks events socialmedia rss First, what’s a web-inar? Wikipedia says: A webinar is a neologism to describe a specific type of web conference. It is typically one-way, [ 1 ] from the speaker to the audience with limited audience interaction, such as in a webcast.

At the end of the month, the articles you, the NTEN community, like the most -- as determined by time on page, pageviews (over the first few days), and social media mentions -- will be highlighted in the newsletter. We're approaching 20,000 subscribers to NTEN connect, and the majority of them don't follow us on a daily basis.
