How Can Volunteer Coordinators Help Their Organizations Become Networked Nonprofits?
Note from Beth: Last month, we did a Networked Nonprofit session at the National Conference on Volunteering and Service. Robert J. Rosenthal, Director of Communications for VolunteerMatch was a participant. He offered to write a guest post. Recently I got my first full-on blast of the Networked Nonprofit at a session the authors presented at the 2010 National Conference on Volunteering and Service. I left inspired, yet I also felt there is still a lot of work we need to do to help our peers … [Read more...]

A Few Reviews of The Networked Nonprofit
One of the most gratifying things about the publication of the book, The Networked Nonprofit, is that it has re-connected me to colleagues and past clients as well as making connections to new people. I met Claire Murray almost five years ago this month when I was working as a consultant for the Community Technology Center Networks to do training for human service agencies that provided homeless services. Claire was working with the Cyber Cafe @ Malden Square. I trained her staff on how … [Read more...]
Bridging Offline/Online: Tweetups
Networked Nonprofits know how to close the loop between social media and offline actions. They understand that it is a scaffolded process. Whatever channel they use, they're building a bridge from online to onland. They're masters at meeting their audience where they're at and bringing them further along the ladder of engagement. Take Twitter for example. Once a nonprofit has developed a presence and a network - and has integrated regular and engaging tweeting into the work flow, the next … [Read more...]
Twitter Tip for Networked Nonprofits: Follow the Few To Get To the Many
For the past few years whenever I doing a training or speak about nonprofits and social media and more recently when we've presented about the book, The Networked Nonprofit, someone always raises this concern: "Social media is a time suck." Networked Nonprofits are not only experts in using social media, but they know how to streamline their work flow often based on an understanding of applying network theory to their practice. One of the best principles I learned was from Valdis Krebs who … [Read more...]
The Networked Nonprofit in Holland!
For me, one of the joys of the publication of Networked Nonprofit co-authored with Allison Fine is seeing people in my network reading it and discussing. I've never met Joitske Hulsebosch face-to-face, but we have collaborated and learned together through the wonders of the social web from US to Holland. I first met Joitske back in 2005 through Nancy White's online facilitation workshop. We had a lot of sandbox time to explore tagging and other emerging web 2.0 technologies. I remember … [Read more...]
Social Media Listening: You Don't Have To Be Joey Chestnut on the 4th of July!
Wendy Harman from the Red Cross wished me a Happy Fourth of July with a Joey Chestnut reference which reminded of a post I wrote almost a year ago. Let me explain. Joey Chestnut won the Nathan's hot dog eating contest in 2008. His total for the day was 64 hot dogs. In 2009, he won again, beating his own record by consuming 68 hot dogs. The thought of consuming 68 hot dogs makes me feel a little uncomfortable. No downright sick in the stomach. It's the same sort of discomfort that some … [Read more...]
