Beth Kanter - The Twitter 20 Interview
Awesome 20 questions and answers - each answer with great additional links! - Laura Norvig from Bookmarklet
I was surprised by how in-depth this interview was, seeing as how it took place in Twitter. Jason Baer did a great job, IMHO - one of the better interviews with Beth I've seen in a while. - Jonathon D. Colman
It's fast paced and a bit jargony, but really helpful if you're already somewhat in the know. I agree it touches on some pretty in-depth issues and yet in few words, as befits Twitter! - Laura Norvig
Jason asked great questions - ones I couldn't answer. I wrote some reflections the experience. I think the format is a great engagement model. I'm testing with some ngos. It is interesting to look back his interviews and the first ones were not that retweeted or commented, but he's developed a following with his constitency and quality http://beth.typepad.com/beths_b... - Beth Kanter

A great accomplishment! Great to see donations picking up this year as nonprofits and their supporters become more savvy about leveraging the tool and channel. Congrats, all! - Jonathon D. Colman

Why Non-Profits Are So Good at Social Media - Conversation Starter ... - http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/cs... (via http://friendfeed.com/amyrswa...)
Love the comments on this more than the article itself. I was just thinking about this this morning. I'll be giving a session on social media next week, things keep popping into my head like the mantra, "be authentic." It can't be said enough, and as more and more marketers get into social media it becomes clear what *inauthenticity* looks like. I think nonprofits are often good at social media because they are so authentically passionate about their causes. - Laura Norvig

Oh man, I love my job. And I'm glad Beth Kanter, Holly Ross, and John Kenyon hipped me to listening and documenting when I attended the WeAreMedia workshop. I'm finally back at my desk after #09NTC, a brief vacation, and being sick, and I can now track the explosion of followers we got after @whitehouse followed us.

Silly me, when I was checking my work email from home and seeing all these new followers, I thought it was just the Oprah effect. - Laura Norvig
Way to go, Laura - how exciting! :) - Jonathon D. Colman
We still have a pretty small amount of followers overall, but that's partly because we need to educate national service grantees about using social media and partly because we have no real budget for marketing, I guess. But yeah, I just want to send a DM to the White House saying, "howzit?" but I think I'll wait until I have something more substantial to say. - Laura Norvig
Great to see you .. - Beth Kanter
You too, Beth - NTC was fabulous. Holly and I are going to get down to the business of creating a 3 hour mini version of some of the WeAreMedia curriculum - if you have any ideas for paring it down bring 'em on! - Laura Norvig

“So, I'm talking next week with staff of a small nonprofit I volunteer with about their use of social media. They have a basic understanding, 1 or 2 committed staff (committed leadership) etc. They specifically want to know about ROI, how much time to spend, planning for outcomes etc.” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
if anyone has suggestions, please comment in original thread - Laura Norvig

The Antonio Pizzigati Prize for Software in the Public Interest - http://www.pizzigatiprize.org/index...
Good deeds do get rewarded! If you know someone who’s been toiling in the open source vineyards, developing software that’s helping nonprofits succeed, check out the Tides Foundation Pizzigati Prize, a $10,000 annual award for outstanding contributions to software in the public interest. The competition, judged by a panel of national leaders in public interest computing, is now entering its third year. The application deadline for this year’s prize: March 2nd, 2009. - Michael R. Bernstein from Bookmarklet
I wish it was more like an X-Prize -- towards a specific goal as opposed to being so general. - Allan Benamer from twhirl

New Twitter tool that lets you follow people automatically who share similar interests. I recently used it for @SocialActions' Twitter Action Pack (http://www.socialactions.com/labs...) with amazing results! How could your nonprofit use this tool? - http://www.twollo.com
For some reason, that one scares me. - Michelle Murrain
why can't it just recommend people for you to follow, without actually automatically following them? - Laura Norvig
So hesitant to fork over my Twitter password, but this looks interesting. Have followed @twollo and will watch for updates. - Jonathon D. Colman
