Staying Engaged With Your Nonprofit Social Media Communities : Page 1 of 2 : FundRaising Success
Staying Engaged With Your Nonprofit Social Media Communities : Page 1 of 2 : FundRaising Success: "Once I got my computer back and stopped twitching, I thought back on why exactly my inability to be as “connected” as I’m accustomed to was so frustrating for me. I realized it was the online communities and supporter relationships I was concerned about damaging. It wasn’t the inconvenience of not being able to perform my normal day-to-day tasks that bothered me (although that was frustrating). I’ve got a system to respond and monitor community discussions and comments regarding organizations I work with down to a science, and I’ve worked hard to make it efficient. Without my tools, my system gets more complicated and speed of response is left wanting."

Nonprofit Blogging - Curation Cures Nonprofit Blogging
Nonprofit Blogging - Curation Cures Nonprofit Blogging: "One of the first questions that nonprofits have about setting up a blog for their supporters is: 'What do we write about?'
It's a good question, and many nonprofits never get the answer right. Their blogs turn into self-referencing organizational messages that most people, even their supporters, tune out"

Cleveland software firm holding 'tech camp' to help nonprofits with websites | cleveland.com
Cleveland software firm holding 'tech camp' to help nonprofits with websites | cleveland.com: "We're inviting a bunch of geeks and people passionate about software development to help do good things for charity,' is how Stahl describes GiveCamp, set for July 16-18.
Keyboards will click continuously during the round-the-clock event, as software developers, designers and database administrators donate their weekend to craft custom software for 15 lucky nonprofits, he said.
Tents and campers will be set up in the parking lot for bleary-eyed programmers and nonprofit leaders who need to catch a nap. 'We'll take turns working on the solutions,' Stahl said. 'We might have a couple developers working on a project, and when they get tired, they'll sleep and somebody will relieve them.'"

Book Review: The Networked Nonprofit | onPhilanthropy
Book Review: The Networked Nonprofit | onPhilanthropy: "In my consulting work, I meet plenty of nonprofit leaders – development directors, board members, executive directors – who know they want to open their organizations to social media but lack the right blueprint. It’s my job to provide it, of course. But I’ve also felt that a well-organized and compelling guide to networks and the social sector – one that dealt with the art of the possible as well as the theory behind the power of networks – would be incredibly helpful to busy third sector professionals. Now that guide is here."

The Nonprofit Quarterly | The Nonprofit Quarterly | Nonprofit Newswire | Internet Giving: Great Expectations and Experimentation: "Among those leading current charges to turn the Internet into a philanthropic gusher by finding even more creative uses for the Web are Howard Bornstein and Paul Weinstein, founders of myphilanthropeida.org and allthis.com, respectively. Weinstein's allthis.com is, according to the Mercury News, 'a kind of eBay for charity.' At allthis.com, benefactors list unusual services for auction, with the proceeds going to the charity of their choice. Bidding opportunities include an offer from comedian Ben Stiller to record your phone's voice mail greeting, to a dinner date with former Playboy model Christina DeRosa."
