What Tools Are You Using for Listening, Engaging, and Social Media Management?
Based on the discussion threads in my Facebook page, I've updated my mega list of tools in my social media listening and engaging instructional wiki. In reflecting over the past three years, the definition of listening tools has broadened beyond "monitoring" or "research" to include several categories: social media engagement management, analytics, influencer identification, and social network analysis. Here's a couple of new tools I've been exploring: RowFeeder should be in your … [Read more...]
Reflections from Networked Nonprofit Workshop for 300 People
Colorado Project View more presentations from Beth Kanter. Chip Conley was the keynote speaker at last week's Craigslist Foundation Bootcamp and one thing that he said that has been stuck in my head is: "You can have a job, a career, or calling" The latter, a calling, is when you can tap into an internal motivation that fuels and inspires you. It resonated. I feel that my technology training for nonprofits work is more like a calling for me than simply a job or career. For the past … [Read more...]
Facebook Place: Time To Check Into Your Facebook Privacy Settings
Earlier this week, Facebook added "where" to the list of personal information members share with the world.

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in Twitter chat series #socialmedia.

Note from Beth: Social media is not a waste a time, but there are ways to waste your time.

A Twitter follower is worth $0.24
Note from Beth: Last month I had the pleasure of presenting on a panel at Association of California Orchestras with Marc van Bree, an arts and social media blogger I met in 2007. After Marc finished reading the Networked Nonprofit, he was curious about crowdfunding and free agents, chapters in our book. This was also about the same time as the flood in Nashville. This terrible flood didn’t spare the Nashville Symphony Orchestra (NSO), an event that he first learned about through his social … [Read more...]
In Case of Emergency, Update Your Facebook Status
In January, after the Haiti Earthquake struck, if you were participating on social networks, you couldn't help but notice the many, many Tweets and Facebook status messages about the Haiti Earthquake.
