I joined to be part of the conversation! I also see the room as another great listening post. - Avi Kaplan

Jonathon - thanks for posting this! I wrote about why in this post http://beth.typepad.com/beths_b... but I like the conversation here and the fact we're intentional about sharing ideas. - Beth Kanter

I'm here mainly as an observer. I try to seek out "frontiers" on the web: places only very special people can reach. This is one of them: you are all probably nonprofit-minded AND you know Friendfeed. That results in this subset of 150 members. - Meryn Stol

Jonathon .. do you want to do an experiment to increase our numbers or should be try to get people who already joined more engaged? - Beth Kanter

It's a good question, B -- I remember your experiment that initially got people involved. What does the community think? Would you like to have more folks in the sand box or higher-quality sand castles? :) - Jonathon Colman

I wanted to find out what other people were thinking/talking about - Michelle Murrain

I joined shortly after the room got started. It's been an awesome addition to my current set of "rooms"... it's like another vein of data. - Clay Newton

Jonathon - do you think that we focused on a deeper engagement, the numbers would follow? this is helpful as I'm working on the wearemedia module for community building. - Beth Kanter

Hi, nptechies! I just read Laura Norvig's post on Beth's Blog about this group, so I thought I drop a note. I'm here to meet others who are sharing resources about how to rock technology for social good, and love to learn from those who are in a similar position of being their org's internal evangelist for social media. - Matt Koltermann

Hi Matt, thanks for the note. I am definitely in that position of being my org's internal evangelist. I manage the social media presence for the Resource Center http://nationalserviceresources.org/ and I originally joined this room to kind of eavesdrop and figure out who's who in nptech. Since then, I've had the privilege of meeting and talking to several of the folks here and I really like this crowd. They're as nice as my librarians crowd! I also want to teach my whole agency about the power of social media for professional development and knowledge sharing. Have to do a brown bag on that someday. - Laura Norvig

I've been a member of this room for a few months. It's been rather quiet. I posted some links, have had a few conversations but it would be great if more were actively involved. I hope Laura's post kicks things up. - Christine Dattilo

I just picked up a non-profit client in my new media consulting work. As I develop a social media strategy for them, I expect to be paying close attention to what people are saying in this group. - Que Sarah Sarah
