All of the words probably have different meanings to each of us, but as a term, I mean programming, services, media events or campaigns that emerge from the needs, actions and involvement of the community. But both the community and your organization want to see certain laws passed, things improved, programs created or groups supported.

For the most part, I agree with the way the crowds voted – but, given that people were able to submit and vote at the same time, it means some groups only submitted on the very last day, not leaving much time for votes. (We’ll put up more notes after the session, too!).

Earlier this week, I had the terrific opportunity to participate on a panel at the US launch event for “Philanthropy and Social Media”, a whitepaper from The Institute for Philanthropy and The Indigo Trust. For many start ups and even nonprofit groups doing something truly innovative, they totally blow it the first time around.

Last month, my blog here on SSIR discussed the idea that nonprofit organizations, with the use of social media, can now create shared spaces online for their communities—truly convene groups online. She posts her photos to the group and something clicks, “we could do this for our annual holiday event!”

Well, at least in my opinion, the definition of a library includes the community – those that come every day, those that come to events or use the services, and those that haven’t yet engaged. Communities share, pass on, and constantly expand a collective wisdom and knowledge from experiences, events, movements and legacy.

Before I worked at NTEN, I managed the NetSquared program at TechSoup Global. At that time, most of NetSquared’s content came from the community blog, where anyone working at the intersection of technology and social impact could create a profile and contribute to the blog with stories, case studies, and more. So, we dug deeper.

We put facebook back in it’s place as a tool, explain to our teams that we have a community engagement strategy that includes various kinds of community groups, various types of content, and will use multiple tools. For example, why track how many events are taking place for our own reporting only? Is it an event to get out the vote?
