"I hear you, Amy. Go where your community is advice I give and stand by too. But maybe there’s something else about deliberately seeking diversity — to change ourselves but also be sure that we are providing more opportunity for others not so much like ourselves to get involved. And I wish I had a concrete suggestion. I, frankly, don’t know enough about this issue yet. But I think that there might be some people to recruit into the conversation so that we can have concrete suggestions." - Marnie Webb

"Well said, Amy. I think it’s more than a shame that causes is leaving MySpace. But I have to say that I think it is our fault too. Well, not our fault as in you and me, but our fault as in the NGO community. My data here, so to speak, is largely anecdotal. But I don’t think we are making the effort to put up pages and reach out to the MySpace community. Undoubtedly, much of this happens because of good advice — go to where your community is (the same advice I give) — but it is unintentionally perpetuating the kind of divide that danah boyd writes about. Maybe we should be making an effort to go to diverse community and find the best way — which may not be Causes — to interact there. So, I wonder if there’s something that we can do to help stop this community red lining." - Marnie Webb

Amy writes about Causes leaving MySpace. Great post and comments. - Marnie Webb

Nice to see this collaboration! - Marnie Webb

"If you are going to measure social media, and you are finding it hard to do so, go back to how you measure the effectiveness of teams, look at the individual contributions of all the members of the group including the outside social media resources." - Marnie Webb

More examples of data visualization. - Marnie Webb

"What’s scariest about Google isn’t the fact that it has all my email, YouTube, Maps and web searches, but how it can farm that data to discover more about me (and how long it keeps it). People know they have Gmail accounts — what they don’t know is which Google demographics are sold to advertisers based on that history." - Marnie Webb

Are we all thinking about how we can apply this kind of thing to our sector? - Marnie Webb

"Thanks for the great reporting on the session! What really astounded me was the emphasis on the idea of this sector as a movement. I know that’s not exactly new but the way these speakers talked about it seemed more tangible than anything I’ve heard in the past. Of course, the proof will be in the pudding. Can the energy of the exhortations for the sector to come together and lead be turned into actions that we can follow up on?" - Marnie Webb

"But the genie is out of the bottle. Start managing your reputation in a way that’s authentic and ethical and stay on top of this. And be prepared for what I’m calling the “curatorial economy.” (You heard it here first.)" - Marnie Webb

Good article about the use of Twitter Lists. I have to say, I'm not sold. But then I'm not much of a list maker. I'm more of a searcher. - Marnie Webb

"As open government projects that solicit feedback from the public gain traction at the federal and local level, these types of metadata-related discoveries will become more and more common. Guaranteeing that file metadata is available to the public will make help to ensure that we know who is trying to influence public discussion." - Marnie Webb

I would so love this. - Marnie Webb
