Some interesting discussion for ASAE Tech Conference and the ASAE wiki.


Home - ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership: "The difference between professional and personal uses of Facebook

Started using Facebook in college for social purposes, uploaded messages, pictures, events, sorority fundraising. Has since invaded professional life

Personal Facebook page was too personal. When business colleagues started adding as friend it became clear that is was not a good mix. Created second Facebook account for business networking purposes."

Demo 2008: Good2Gether Uses Social Technology to Help Nonprofits | Epicenter from Wired.com: "Founder Gregory McHale came up with the idea for Good2Gether while looking up information on Hurricane Katrina.

It’s probably not much of a surprising tip, but it’s one I don’t see people doing as much as you’d think."

In the world of Venture Philanthropy, charity begins globally and, more often than not, online. As Salvatore LaSpada, chief executive of the UK-based Institute for Philanthropy, told the FT last month, young people who have created significant amounts of wealth very rapidly are taking the same 'boundary-crossing drive into their philanthropy'. This is at the base of the 'new philanthropy', which is perceived to be more ambitious and more business-like."
