A couple weeks ago, we had a rip-roaring conversation about Twitter on The Baudcast . We gave Twitter center stage for the entire episode, and picked a couple of topics we know people often have questions about. Wendy Harman (American Red Cross), Danielle...
There's no such thing as a social media expert - it's impossible to know it all. Every day we learn new tricks from each other, and a robust network is needed to make this happen. I've often cited Twitter as the "best professional development...
The Internet, nonprofits, and cause-based action have been natural partners since day one, not unlike peanut butter and jelly...and, um, more jelly. So it's no surprise that the successes nonprofits have seen with social media are constantly being...
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...
The cost of keeping your cause on the web, whether it's online fundraising, social networking, or raising awareness, is hard to quantify. It's even harder to determine wheather these efforts are actually helping your organization, or just wasting...
When Target Analytics released its 2008 donor Centrics Internet Giving Benchmarking Analysis , the sector responded with keen interest. The study is packed with insightful nuggets, but one trend is capturing everyone's attention (including The New...
If you're reading this, there's a good chance that you're a social media hipster doofus internet geek just like me. If that's the case, go ahead and make your plans for next year's SXSW Interactive Festival , because it's the one...
The nonprofit presence at the 2009 SXSW Interactive Festival has exponentially increased, and I'm really looking forward to all the amazing sessions and panels waiting for all of us do-gooders. And while I'll certainly be attending sessions without...
One of my favorite things about producing The Baudcast ( iTunes | direct ) is that I get to learn directly from nonprofit industry experts, share with all of you, and then apply that knowledge at my own organization . Last week's show centered around...
I don't know about you, but my iPod has an insatiable appetite for new podcasts. Not a 12,000-calorie Michael Phelps-sized appetite , but it certainly appreciates being fed useful podcasts rather than old Led Zeppelin records. OK, it likes the old...
Here are four webby things I wanted to share with you all this morning. Episode #12 of The Baudcast is hot of the griddle, and ready for consumption at Blackbaud.com or the iTunes Music Store . This was a fun episode to tape, so a big thanks goes out...
Startup costs are at an all time low, ideas are everywhere, and there are millions of content-creating users out there ready to help out. It's never been a better time to be a webby guy who's into webby things. These are good times. These are...
One of the most interesting webby things I get to do here at Blackbaud is produce, host, and edit all of our podcasts. Podcasting is a great way for any organization to create inexpensive social media that is informational, portable, and shareable. We...
