Church Technology Listservs. I’ve been following the discussions on the Unitarian Universalist techie listserv and it’s a great information sharing group. Another is the ChurchMgmtSoftware listserv. Church Tech Blogs is exactly what it sounds like: a blog aggregator site. ChurchTechToday. Image: Aftab.

When I was in Minnesota, one of the questions I got was about blogging and social networking policies. 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. Do any nonprofits have a formal blogging policy?

A (blog) conversation strategy is how you support and nurture a conversation on your blog in the comments. It is a combination of how you will comment on other blogs, how you track the conversation, and how you respond to comments on your blog. I recently commented on Emily Williamson's blog.

Back in the old days, there was a very small community of peer that I could ask questions and learn from — we had a listserv! My work was as a trainer, to teach people who to use these tools strategically. That small community evolved into the organization – NTEN – the association for nonprofit techies.

I first met Amy Fox when she de-lurked on the Museum Computer Network listserv. Broadly, I'm researching how museums are using micro-blogging. If followers already subscribe to your blog and you only tweet blog posts, there is no reason for them to follow you on Twitter. Somehow that morphed into my thesis topic.

Makes sense to really think about whether an information source/listserv is giving you value or not. But, not all listserv RSS feeds are a like!
