Chatterbox (
RSS)
We talk about social media, just a little bit , on our Blackbaud blogs. But maybe you're wondering why you should care or you know what it is but need to know more. Where do you go to find more information? I had a friend/professional peer ask me...
Lately, when something hasn’t been working, in between projects, or waiting for edits, I decided to try a little experiment. I wanted to see what would happen if I played with my privacy settings on some social media sites like myspace, facebook, flickr...
Try to say that title one time fast (yeah, don't even bother with three times fast)! Phew! Why the alliteration? Well I recently signed up for Twitter a few months ago to see what it was all about, and it wasn’t until I understood the power of it...
Hello Chatterbox world... I thought I'd try something new this time around. The WritersUA Conference on Software User Assistance has free wifi in the meeting rooms so I'm going to try a little live blogging. First time for me, so humor me in my...
I’m sitting in the Altanta airport right now waiting for my flight to Seattle. It’s a bustle of activity but I’m too excited about where I’m going to notice. Chatterbox is headed to Seattle for the WritersUA Conference on Software User Assistance – Better...
Once and a while I find a cool, small detail about a tool or website that makes a huge difference to me – so much so, I feel the need to share. I especially appreciate them when they save me steps and time! Here are eight to get you started... 1. Merge...
Well have no fear, because Scrim is here! Scrim is a wonderful new tool that masks your email address from the spam bots that scour the internet to find an email to send their "spicy meat" to. Think of Scrim as Tinyurl for your email address...
Yeah! It’s fun to have co-workers just randomly mention a cool tool in a meeting and then off you go on a learning adventure. Thanks to Georgeanne, I was recently introduced to Xobni (inbox backwards). http://www.xobni.com/ Xobni (pronounced Zob nee)...
I’m excited to have a new regular guest blogger, Steve Pham. Steve joined the documentation team as a technical writer a few weeks ago – moving here from the great city of Philly. Hmmm… wonder why he did that? He must be drawn to beaches, sunshine, and...
Wow, for a geek, I'm sitting here even more geeked up (especially for a Monday). I recently found out this blog is included on the Nonprofit Technology website as a blog source. Nonprofittech.com is a website that was started by Beth Kanter as a way...
Sometimes when you experiment with social media and learn (like I do), you amass a ton of online profiles. For example, recently I remembered I had a yahoo profile and email address. Wow, wonder how long it’s been since I last checked that email?! I updated...
Authoring in SharePoint – a world unto its own for those of you brave enough to venture into adding web parts, setting up sites and workspaces, and playing around with site settings. I find it’s often more like a treasure hunt than a systematic process...
Nov 26 th was my last post. Ouch. I confess! My brain took a holiday break from Thanksgiving to New Year's. I still had to work but I suppose I wasn't multi-tasking with the same style I'm used to. So has anything new happened in social media...
I confess. I don’t Digg and I have no idea what to use it for. In fact, just the other day I submitted my first article. And it doesn’t even really count since it’s one of my own blog posts. I just wanted to test the process. Sadly, as of today, 6 days...
It’s day two and so far, in my biased opinion, it’s been the best conference ever. Part of the reason I’m biased? I’ve had some wonderful conversations with our clients and listened in on some sessions that expanded and challenged my mind. We all have...
