Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

AUGUST 20, 2012

I started contributing to Global Voices where I did blogging roundups from Cambodia. In 2007, I raised money to help sponsor the first Cambodian Bloggers conference and raised a lot of the money via Twitter as Shel Israel noted in his book, Twitterville. Here’s a video and blog post I wrote for Blogher back then.

First, there was a lot of energy in the room, similar to the blogher , because a lot of people had been reading each other's blogs or posts on GV, but had never met face-to-face. It was very similar to the way the blogher opening plenary was facilitated. I vlogged it here: Download cultureshock.wmv.

Write to the woman I am sponsoring through Women for Women International , each month. When you sign up to be a Women for Women International sponsor , they make it clear that some of the women are experiencing circumstances that make it difficult for them to write. Seems kinda messy. What I've done: Written her a letter each month.

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. Geoff Livingston invited me to keynote the conference along with Shel Israel , author of Twitterville. This is just a sampling.
