One of my many goals while I’m here in La Antigua Guatemala is to become involved in helping Non-governmental organizations and aid organizations to become more inline with the invaluable tools of today’s Social Media.
Watch Katherine Fulton’s TED talk about the changing landscape of philanthropy:
Also check out socialbrite.org, a new website to help NGOs become more tech savvy.
Socialbrite.org is launching with a rich set of resources:
• A directory of Web 2.0 Productivity Tools in dozens of categories that can help organizations get a handle on the social Web.
• A Social Media Glossary that offers a deep, friendly introduction to dozens of social media terms in plain English.
• A first-of-its-kind Twitter widget that tracks tweets about nonprofits or social causes in real time.
• A Free Photos Directory, Free Video Directory and Free Music Directory that offers nonprofits, cause organizations and Web publishers a guide to hundreds of online resources for adding legal, high-quality content to their own Web sites, blogs, newsletters, printed materials or online presentations.
• A Causes widget that points to charitable actions and donations on other sites such as GlobalGiving and Facebook Causes.
