Rootwork: Powering grassroots networks from the bottom up. [social change, social media, nptech, Drupal, and a bit more]
Tmrw: Free #Philly lunchtime workshop by @breadrosesfund on grantwriting for grassroots orgs/nonprofits http://www.breadrosesfund.org/index...
RT @raylab: Each tool and network is different. Learn the community that's there to determine if the space is relevant for you. #org20
.@you2gov seems nice, but isn't it similar to what congress.org, CitizenSpeak & change.org already do? #conconf
The @HolocaustMuseum / @antigenocide 's iPledge2Protect RTed by Twitterers w/5mil followers, only generated 8k new names #conconf #nptech
@delerium69 yep, definitely. #conconf
Conflict resolution doesn't mean conflict avoidance. Don't mistake passionate debate for a "flame war" & crush it. #conconf
Good pt for #conconf from @AriMelber's presentation at #org20 - YouTube is a platform, NOT a strategy http://twitpic.com/sacr1 #nptech

"We have a private network for our activists, but no one uses it. Why? B/c ppl want friends to SEE them using it" (via FB etc) #conconf
@raylab oh, i figured it wasn't you saying it - i just wondered if anyone pushed the discussion
What are some strategies or ideas for dialogue and conflict resolution through social media and w/in online communities? #conconf #nptech
The very excellent @brooklynmuseum has an API for all of its collections. http://www.brooklynmuseum.org/opencol... #conconf
YES. RT @techforprogress @calvinicus_rex facebook and twitter are not organizing but are tactics for strategic organizing #org20 #conconf
What "meaningful way" could people not in Iran "fight" b/c of online organizing during the protests there? Green icons? #org20 @raylab
Some people at #conconf seem to use the sessions to ask random questions about social media. I'm not sure why...
YESSS. First mention of Paulo Freire at #conconf - I am in the right session.
REALLY cool: @HolocaustMuseum's http://go.footnote.com/thewall... - 6Gpx interactive img of Vietnam memorial 58k names, 58k stories #conconf #nptech
via @vargheseanand Is social media a site of record for social protest, or a source/cause of it? Confusing input&output? #conconf #4change
OMG! Photos being Photoshopped! Wikipedia might be in error!...So why did ppl trust Cronkite & Britannica? Critical thnkng not new #conconf
RT @Mlsif: Grass-roots organizing discussion flitting from 30K feet view to ground, and back. Not focusing, alas. #conconf
RT @Christopher_Neu #conconf lesson of civil rights mvmt not only articulation of goals, also tapped into churches etc to further goal
In the #org20 session at #conconf. Basically.
Online organizing comes in short bursts of actions, but it's only successful if it's linked to a long-term movement. #conconf -- @emazursky
RT @Mlsif quote: @you2gov: "So it was a planned flash mob?" Yes. @mlsif: "We used to call that a demonstration." #conconf
@foundhistory Yeah, identi.ca came up a lot in discussions of "activist Twittering" after both the Iran and G20 protests/repression #conconf
Don't assume the social media platform you love is necessarily the best platform for a given social movement. #conconf
Yes! RT @kestober Give the community power to control their memories, their archive? Who owns the archive? Whose knowledge is it? #conconf
The Hub by @witnessorg is like YouTube for documenting human rights abuses - word needs to be spread http://hub.witness.org/ #conconf
RT @foundhistory: Problem: social media communities not transferable. You may own tweets but Twitter owns your community #conconf #nptech
Tension btw reliability/verifiability to get info out to world - & need for anonymity to do organizing in repressive regimes #conconf
