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...
Your brand reputation (either personal or professional) is an important aspect of your business. Being "in the know" about what people are saying about your brand is important. Unfortunately, branding is not like the world of glitz and glamour...
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...
I noticed this week that Causes in Facebook seem to have improved their ease of recruiting. I was recruited to a couple of my favorite local nonprofits and in return could invite others all without much effort. The other nice part about Causes in Facebook...
Did you know your government – federal, state, and local – is in the grassroots information network? If you thought twitter was just micro blogging the latest celebrity or personal news gossip then you’re missing out on the information underground. I...

In my previous post on the work / life balance I talked more about the time management and which tool is best for personal or professional use but I didn't talk much about setting boundaries. It's not enough nowadays just to trust your colleagues...

I’m in shock right now. Something totally awesome and unexpected just happened. It was my lunch time, I was checking out Facebook , and this friend of a friend popped up online and had an off-topic question. We were chatting for a minute when he mentioned...
I didn’t realize there could possibly be a wonderful world of PowerPoint until I went to the STC conference this year. Then I was wondering, why we didn’t think of this type of site before? After all, despite Tufte’s protests, PowerPoint type presentations...
I made a statement to a colleague recently about how “I was talking when I should have been listening” and he laughed whole heartedly at me. It was then I knew I was in trouble. I realized I had become that person. The one who jabbers away and doesn’t...
(Originally appeared on From the Doc Side ) Now that our team’s Docs Day 2008 (team training day) is over, I can start sharing all the fun surprises I had for them in my presentation. I presented on my trip to the Society for Technical Communication Summit...
