In 2009, for example, two trapped girls in Australia chose to post to facebook for help rather than dialing emergency numbers directly. It could be checking in with people on a location-based social network. This focus on collective participation and 24/7 connectivity has impacted more than just our social lives.

Current best practices will serve nonprofits just fine in 2009. For organizations that stick to a more traditional managerial and communications structure between now and then, however, raising money is going to be tougher in 2012 than in the darkest days of 2009.
