Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

MARCH 13, 2013

This post is to share my deck and comments from my lighting talk about failure at Good by Global at SXSW. The failure bow is what trapeze artists, acrobats, and other athletics do after a fall so they let got the fear of making a mistake. Next time you make a mistake or your team is doing an after action review, don’t cringe.

In 2008, I was honored to be on one of the few nonprofit panels on the agenda. In 2008, I designed the Nonprofit and Social Media ROI Poetry Slam and last year was a panel on crowdsourcing that modeled crowdsourcing in the design and delivery.

I started contributing to Global Voices where I did blogging roundups from Cambodia. In 2007, I raised money to help sponsor the first Cambodian Bloggers conference and raised a lot of the money via Twitter as Shel Israel noted in his book, Twitterville. All in all, it was a exciting evening.

As one example, you can view the building where Daum is located now, under construction in 2008. Usahidi , an interactive map-based information collection tool was born out of a need to capture and report post-election violence during Kenya’s 2008 presidential elections. Usahidi means testimony. What kind of story would that tell?

Melinda Kramer: Women's Earth Alliance is a global organization and we work around the world uniting women who are on the front lines of environmental causes. One of the women that stands out is actually someone who participated in our 2008 training, which took place in Kenya. Her name is Solame. From that point, my path shifted.
