Beth's Blog: How Nonprofits Can Use Social Media

This is a post to help me identify what I don't know about social network analysis and mapping tools with the hope that you'll fill in the gaps in the comments. Some examples: A follower on Twitter or someone you're following. For example, a one-way connection on Twitter is someone who follows you, but you don't follow back.

User generated content is also at the core of citizen journalism, the notion that amateur users can perform journalist-like functions (accidentally or otherwise) by reporting and commenting on news. Wikis are a perfect example of co-creation. Tags: ROI. Do share your thoughts.

My initial remix thought (wrong) was to look for examples that were related to agriculture, but the extension is so much more. looking at the ten steps and overlaying these themes in search of examples! Extension programs use wikis, flickr, blogs, tagging, and other tools to share information and content. It's messy.

The extent to which I can learn from Wikipedia or waste time on Youtube is directly proportional to the volume of other users' participation--creators, critics, and spectators alike. The Haarlem Oost library book drops are one example, but I'm sure you have seen or created others. Tags: web2.0 Thanks in advance! interview.

There is much much commentary and grieving taking place online as well as a memorial in SecondLife , and an article in Wikipedia. Allan Benamer weighs in with some observations after wading through the comments over at the Netsquared site and pointing to Holden from GiveWell to be the most salient point. Where's the conference tag?

Jeremy Price offered a comment on my last blog post with a link to an excellent article by Lee Shulman on the uses and abuses of taxonomies in educational theory. For example, in Bloom’s taxonomy of Educational Objectives, knowledge and comprehension of content comes before application. Was this the right decision? X-Men) and artists.

I first "met" Marshall when he left a comment on my blog about the interview with Marnie Webb. Can you give me an example of some advice you've given some nonprofits? Have you been reading awhile before you posted or did you find and post a comment? I did post a comment right away after discovering your blog.

It makes us uncomfortable with opening museum content up to comment, tagging, and alterations by visitors. Whether on blogs or talk-back walls, people are more conscious about their comments when they know their name will be associated with their work. Tags: inclusion comfort. But this goes both ways.

Regardless of how museums and libraries portray themselves, it’s clear to users: Wikipedia belongs to them. One of the most interesting examples of this is the recent evangelical megachurch trend.

The next group of people are users who rate, tag, and comment on videos, but do not submit videos. sites that revolve around content, like YouTube, Wikipedia, and Flickr, behave this way. I can leave a comment, and read today’s comments, but I can’t flip through the archive of comments going back X years.

For example, when I think of the term "wikimuseum," I think of several potential characteristics. In 2008, I worked with one museum director for whom the word "wiki" is synonymous with "Wikipedia." For example, the concept that "time is money" is a culturally-specific metaphor. But that is not everyone's definition.

In social media, the rule of thumb is 90-9-1 : 90% spectate, 9% comment or rate content, and 1% produce content. On sites like Wikipedia and YouTube, the ratio of spectators to producers is even more pronounced; on sites like Flickr or Facebook, the ratio is lower. readers) who will read this post… and comment on it?
