I dig speaking at nonprofit conferences and events, and one of my favorite topics to cover is the real-time use of social media . It's the perfect mix of emerging technologies, social media, communities, and the web - some of my favorite things. The...
OK, I've been home long enough to say I'm recovered from the 2009 NTC , but I'll certainly never be the same. This event has the potential to change the life and org of every single attendee that shows up, and that's why it will continue...
While in San Francisco last week at The Nonprofit Technology Conference , I ran into one of my favorite dogooders: David Neff . Never short on energy and enthusiasm, David was even more pumped than usual. And why not?...he was just about to launch a great...
I had been looking forward to Clay Shirky 's plenary at the 2009 Nonprofit Technology Conference for a while, and he did not let me down. Keeping in theme with his almost dead-on resemblance to Tom Hanks, his words/message/thoughts resonated around...
