Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

AUGUST 9, 2006

I'm just back after a ten-day business trip beginning with Blogher and ending with NCDD (Dialogue and Deliberation). After the write up in the Boston Globe about women bloggers (which included both me and Millie), my parents (in their 80s) sent an email saying, "This is all great, but what's a blog."

Photo by Ezster On Saturday, I attended BlogHer Boston. The networking was fabulous - meeting many new bloggers in the Boston area as well as seeing long-time blogher buddies and of course, Jory, Lisa, and Elisa. BlogHer always inspires me and this one did not fail. It was better than eating chocolate!

At blogher, I attended a workshop on video blogging lead by Ryanne Hodson and Zadi Diaz. When I saw Steve Garfield model this technique in his workshop at Boston Podcamp , I realized my problem! I'll still continue to blog here during the next two weeks, but will point you over to daily guest posts on Netsquared. My arms are too short.

Twitter According to the Wall Street Journal article, Twitter Yourself a Job , Alexa Scordato sent out a message to her Twitter followers saying that she was looking for an entry level social media job in Boston. Cross-posted from BlogHer. Within two weeks she had a job. I'm sure that isn't the norm, but it can't hurt to ask, right?

Take for example the upcoming podcamp in Boston that is using a wiki for registration, program planning, note taking, and virtually all the logistical details or any of the barcamp gatherings. I've seen this used frequently with "unconference" or "open space" technology-oriented conferences and workshops.

I met Laura at Boston Podcamp very briefly and grabbed her card so I could catch up with her for an interview for Blogher. Laura Allen is the co-founder 15SecondPitch , a company that help people to market themselves in 15 seconds on the phone, email, face-to-face, and on business cards. Why did you launch your company?

My fellow blogher, Lisa Williams , disagreed on this point. She suggested that we "propagate memes" - as she called to the bloghers in the room - go forth and propogate memes!

I was inspired to do a regular summary after Deborah Finn assembled a Boston TechnoBabe Meta Feed. Maybe it is part of the gearing up for the upcoming session at Blogher called " Get Deeply Geeky." I'm awlways delighted to discover new (to me) blogs written by women who work in the NPTECH space.

This following week I'm going to Boston to receive an award from Inc. When Sophia contacted me and asked if I would talk here, my first thought was, "You know, I could talk here, but I just know so many amazing women who have stories that I want to share." What I do is, I write for several blogs, as she mentioned. So it's very exciting.
