Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

FEBRUARY 27, 2007

Last summer, I remember seeing Britt Bravo photographing the trash at the Blogher Conference. She was creating a visual for this post, " Can't Blogher Conference Be Greener Next Year ?" Her recent post at Netsquared called " How To Green Your Tech Conference " has some good advice.

One of the breakout sessions at The Netsquared Conference was on Tagging in the Nonprofit World at that session blogher Holly Ross of N-TEN asked a question. "How can we use tagging to make social change, not just organize our own work."

After that, I discovered an interesting photo set in the Link netsquared tag stream and it was Seth Mazow, so I made him a contact. While browsing, happened to notice blogher Kalabird, who is doing NGO work in Cambodia has contributed a few. It loads ten images that all share a common tag, one by one, and you guess what the tag is.

My dream for the writing I do for this blog, BlogHer and NetSquared , and for the interviews I do for the Big Vision Podcast is to somehow make a difference, to live up to how one friend described Have Fun * Do Good as, "inspiring people by seeing the efforts of others in hopes that they will be moved to act themselves."

Take for example, the netsquared conference. Another example of using a wiki to organize captured notes was Amy Gahran's wiki of all the blog posts and notes from the recent Blogher conference, compiled post-event and facilitated by the use a conference tag. This model can also be scaled to an entire blog community platform.

One of the podcasters at NetSquared , where I work, uses the Olympus DM-20 digital recorder , which isn't cheap, but is more affordable than the options above, and I think it comes with a microphone.
