Mini Social Media Camp for Nonprofits & Other Do Gooders!
The next Net Tuesday is being organized by Elijah van der Giessen of the David Suzuki Foundation! Eli is rocking a whole new breed of Net Tuesdays - Imagine a mini social media camp where you can learn about & discuss the social media and tech tools that can rock your nonprofit/org/project!
Topics:
- How can my organization use Facebook to be more awesome? Should I use Pages or Groups?
- How can I use Twitter to find new supporters?
- How can I use Ning to build a community?
- How can I use free tools to power my online petitions?
Interested in leading a breakout session? Ping Eli!
Please RSVP for an event reminder!

TonyaEnjoyed the presentations.
Especially the one by Kris on Listening to the Internet. It was an extremely interesting topic. Could have used a little more time with each topic though, but I also understand time constraints too.

Peter KibiukExcellent presenters and very willing to share information. A little tough to gather around Macs to get full appreciation. Is there a way screens could be shared via WLAN connectivity or projected on wall. Might be good to have a little more structure in the presentation. Not too rigid, but enough to provide direction and focus for audience

CoveDogIt was my first one. I love how it was driven by pure shared interest. Brilliant to connect non-profits with tech-types. I'm with a non-profit, in marketing and communications, and we are trying to understand the strategic potential of driving social change with the new tools available to us. Got some great tips that will immediately make a difference!
Thanks to all.

Boyan BlockaDidn't like the organic breakout format. Thought this was a lazy approach to providing value. For this many people and presenters it would have made a lot more sense to have a projector and consecutive presentations kept to a max. of 15 min each. This would have forced the presenters to be more prepared, offer more value quicker and kept the ball rolling quick. I'd also recommend a time keeper to cue presenters 3 min. before the end of their speech so they know to wrap it up.

Sally MorrisonOverall it was good. The discussions were great and really open but some lacked a summary. It would have been really useful to close each topic's discussion with a verbal list of say "our 5 top tips for non-profits" as a take home piece. Because it was so popular and the space so light, it was not possible for everyone in the group to see the laptop screens so some of the discussion was lost, in some cases making the laptops more of a distraction than an aid. Thanks and see you next time.

Amy LennonBreaking up into smaller groups was a good format. Presenters were conversational and sharing. Good job.
