The Unexpected Benefits From Content Curation
By the time you read this post, I'll be somewhere in the air between California and India to facilitate a "Networked NGO" training for NGOs in India that are Packard Foundation grantees. More about that later. But I have some exciting news! My article is the lead story in the June, 2012 NTEN Change Journal! You can use that link to access the article and subscribe to the journal.

Pinterest Nonprofit Benchmarking with Pinerly
Last week, I wrote a post that summarized some tips, resources, and tools for using Pinterest. I took a look at a couple of the measurement tools available for Pinterest and got on the waiting list for Pinerly after reading this analysis from the Poynter Blog based on stats provided by Pinerly. I was curious about what I could learn if I did an informal benchmark study of a few nonprofit Pinterest users.

Good Curation VS Bad Curation
What is good curation versus bad curation?

How To Get Insight From Data Visualization: SHUT UP and SLOW DOWN!
I have been interested in visualization techniques, visual facilitation, and visual thinking since 1991 when I read Tony Buzan's book, "Using Both Sides of the Brain: Mind Mapping Techniques" that started me down a very slow and leisurely learning journey. This year I've been focusing on data visualization and techniques for nonprofits - and working on my visual thinking skills without letting my basic drawing skills become a barrier. I've been a fan of Dan Roam's work since his book "The … [Read more...]
Have Online Social Networks Become Boring?
I love this new video from the Case Foundation about the power of social media for social change. The numbers illustrate how far the field has come in adopting social media, although not 100% adoption. The video reminded me of the classic video, "The Machine is US/ing Us." I often used the video at social media workshops back then to generate discussion about how our world is changing. When I first got started with social media training (2004-2007), I often rain into a lot of raised … [Read more...]
