Andy’s Answers: How USA TODAY used Twitter to make charity cooler than Justin Bieber: "A lot of brands launch charity campaigns through social channels, but few generate the success that USA TODAY did with their #AmericaWants project that gave a full-page ad to a charity chosen by fans.
In just four days, USA TODAY generated 60,000 tweets in support of more than 500 charities and became a trending topic at three different times — even knocking the ever-present Justin Bieber out of the trending list at one point."

A fireside chat with Jean Case at #MDS11 � Nonprofit Nate: "Jean Case is an actively engaged philanthropist and a pioneer in the world of interactive technologies. Her career in the private sector spanned nearly two decades before she and her husband, Steve Case, created the Case Foundation in 1997. A passionate believer in all things digital and the amazing potential of technology to change the world for the better, Raymund Flandez of the Chronicle on Philanthropy sat down with Jean for a compelling conversation at today’s Millennial Donor Summit.
Raymund: You’re seen as a champion of Millennials. Why is that?
Jean: We’ve come to learn they have unique and valuable qualities. In the years of working with them we’ve learned a lot about them. There’s a stereotype that they are self-absorbed, etc. and that’s simply not true. We’ve had tremendous experiences"

Report on Community Internet Space for People who are Homeless released � Open Access Connections
Report on Community Internet Space for People who are Homeless released � Open Access Connections: "Report on Community Internet Space for People who are Homeless released
“I speak to many homeless individuals, being one myself. One of the most pressing problems is our limited access to technology. Each individual seems to have limited ability to access technology at different levels.”
This comment by a former homeless individual reveals why Open Access Connections, with the support of community partners, released a report entitled “Envisioning an Internet Center for Homeless Individuals: One Group’s Quest to Reduce the Digital Divide. At a public meeting attended by a diverse group of people representing many organizations on June 20th at the Communication Workers Hall on Lake Street in Minneapolis, we outlined our vision for a community internet space for people who are homeless. We do not see this center as simply a place for individuals who are homeless or in transition to use computes, rather we see it as a community building space where individuals who are homeless can become more engaged with technology."

Over the past year, I’ve given talks or moderated sessions on social media in a strange set of cities: Adelaide, Sydney, and Doha. Preparation for those events was often done in the margins of my professional life: In my favorite airplane seat (aisle, exit row), on my laptop at home as I tried to multitask with family time (bad idea), or early in the morning. I’ve scanned more “Ten Tips for Twitter” than I care to think about, read my Chronicle colleagues’ excellent stories, and talked to communications and marketing administrators at universities, including many outside of the United States. Now I’d like to take revenge on all those other tip writers with my own, globally oriented version of four social media do’s and don’ts. Think of these as collected wisdom, not advice."
