Freely sharing and facilitating community knowledge is part of my DNA as it for many colleagues in the nonprofit technology field. In those days, we used listservs and online discussion software, but platform matter. It was the free and open sharing of knowledge, insights, quick tips, and how-tos. Photo by Dkurpaptwa.

I'm using some traditional ways to research this topic: -Email to listservs -Posts on online forums -Google search. Over the years I've done a lot of Internet-based research projects and I think it is time for me to do a little rethinking of how to incorporate the social web into this process. The work in progress is here.

This post was in draft because I was starting to devour all the great content on the NTEN Blog , including Marshall's post called " Ten Cool Tools for Working on the Web " and I strongly resisted the urge take Thinkature out for a test drive.

To challenge my set ways of doing internet research Web 1.0 Out of habit, I started off doing the research in my usual ways - posts to listservs, search engine, private emails, and posts to forums. but for the most part people share freely with their knowledge in a sort of gift economy way. My experience is here.

Now, I swear I remember seeing something from Easter Seals or another nonprofit on a listserv that mentioned either social networking policy or blogging policy. interest that staff and volunteers understand the responsibilities in discussing Easter Seals in the public square known as the World Wide Web. Be Responsible.
