Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

OCTOBER 23, 2012

This is a terrific presentation from Lee Raine from the Pew Internet and American Life Project that looks at the issue being “hyperconnected” or “over connected” to the web, mobile technologies and social media. Some 95% of teens ages 12-17 are online, 76% use social networking sites, and 77% have cell phones.

When I first started myspace.com/nonprofitorganizations almost 4 years ago I had no idea that it would evolve to become as large as it has, or that the brand/community/concept would spread to Facebook , then YouTube , and now Twitter.

Over the next four years, innovative organizations will use technology to transfer to individuals the reins on everything from program work and evaluation to fundraising and communications. Simplistic appeals targeted at teens and college students don't. Donations will be a consequence of meaningful engagement, not a measurement of it.

I told the story about posting a video interview with my dad (who was 86 at the time) on YouTube about his first blog post and how I discovered a community of "older" people using YouTube. They are not just posting photos of their grandkids. Is it only younger people who are using social media. I answered no.

That's the question the Nonprofit Technology Conference session, "The Seven Things Everyone Wants: What Freud and Buddha Understood (and We're Forgetting) about Online Outreach," tried to answer.
