Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

FEBRUARY 3, 2008

I am just back from Legal Services Corporation and a keynote on ROI and Nonprofits. I tried to make the point by raising the question, " Can you quantify the intangible ?" I caught up with Jen Lemen's post " To Cambodia With Love " I met Jen at Blogher last summer in a session about Global Women Bloghers.

I attended the " Twenty-Something Meet Up " at the BlogHer Conference. I keep hearing from nonprofits that one of the reasons they want to incorporate a social networking or media strategy is to reach a younger audience. Nonprofit Technology. She covers nonprofit technology, social actions, and social change.

After meeting her at the Global Engagement Summer last spring, I knew I wanted to grab her for an interview before she became too famous. Cross-posted from BlogHer.

You don't necessarily see women keynote at technology conferences (well accept for women focused technology conferences like blogher ), but Geoff was trying hard ensure a gender balanced program and succeeded. I'm doing a couple of notes for myself about ideas that some of the discussions raised for me. This is just a sampling.

Paul Rice, the founding president and CEO of the Oakland based nonprofit, TransFair USA , answers these questions and others in an interview for the Big Vision Podcast. At the heart of Fair Trade is the notion of direct trade, kind of like a farmer's market gone global. Why should consumers buy Fair Trade Certified products?

Last week, there was a useful exchange on the NTEN Affinity group for Nonprofit Bloggers around the question "What metrics do you use to measure success for your blog?" I'm remembering something that I heard Robert Scobel say at last year's Global s Summit in London. How do we think about those?

For folks who are interested in how you can use blogs and podcasts and other social media things for social change, basically the way I started was, I have always worked for nonprofits and socially responsible businesses, and was not technical at all. Raise your hand if you have heard of or had at any point been inspired by Hillary Clinton.
