And organizations and movements can certainly use twitter to organize – I think that’s a great strategy – as long as the majority of those to be organized are on twitter – which is quite a stretch for most orgs or movements. Should they spend a bit of time tying their RSS feed (if they have one) to a twitter account?

It's call org.2.0! Don't forget to use some other ways to track conversations like co-comment and icerocket. Yep, and you should also learn how to use an RSS reader so you can efficiently monitor those feeds and respond. It signals to me that we are beginning to cross the chasm in Web2.0 in nonprofit land. Or maybe not.

To get the most out of Friendfeed you do have to put more into it than just feeding your stuff in and reading others' stuff. Like the blogosphere, it helps enormously if you actually comment on items. An incredible listening tool. Extremely easy to build lists to separate out the types of people you follow.

It's more personal than e-mail in many ways when someone takes the time to leave a comment for instance. I've gotten in "trouble" but all in all, we're fairly lenient in my org. So the work flow goes -- check for new comments, respond, check RSS feeds, decide whether to write about it, rinse cycle and repeat.

Q: How do we get past our fear of negative comments possibly being posted about the organization from activists etc.? It seems like reviewing all posts and not posting those comments would defeat the purpose. At first you won't get many comments - it takes time to build up a community of people who will comment.
