Source: Flickr User Lynetter. I'm tracking social media metrics for a variety reasons. Surprisingly, what I'm reading is coming to me via social sharing. What you're seeing above is a visualization of sharing intensity - this was the slide I took out of my presentation for the Bridge Conference Presentation earlier this week. Sharing, Engagement, Interaction, Popularity, etc are some of the emerging terms for metrics for social media that are in process of being defined.

A friend of mine likes to tell this story from his early days as a software consultant. His team had spec'd out a system for a client, and implemented it in somewhat more than three the time they'd included in the contract. Even though they'd lost their shirts, they were full of excitement as they delivered their shiny new application to the client.

Guess what? I'm going to be speaking about blogging at the Writing for Change Conference that I mentioned in my Writing to Change the World post earlier this month. When I contacted them about a possible bloggership for the Conference, they asked me to speak. Wahoo!

It's a wonder I have any time left to blog at all now that I've signed up for Facebook. But I felt I really ought to give it a test-drive, now that I see so many people urging non-profits to look into it. This post is for those of you who have not even peeked into it yet. I'll tell you my conclusion up front: For non-profits looking for ways to get their message in front of new audiences, especially a younger tech-friendly community, maintaining a Facebook presence is definitely worth exploring.

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains.
