It might be as complicated as bringing many companies (or countries!) together to see whether there might be untapped opportunities for them to partner in new ways. In between? To meander.

Lisa Meyers Brown responded to my question to her about her observations of the state of blogging by nonprofits. There are still far many more questions than answers at this point. Non-profits typically have such a community going into the game, so the question becomes how can the blog enhance the effort, and who should blog.

It was a fantastic opportunity to learn what types of questions are raised about social media in the context of strategic planning with nonprofits. I got hit with a question that I could not answer on the spot - a very good question. The question I was asked had to do with the demographics of social media.
