- Anyone with a mobile phone has the potential to create change by contributing expertise and data through a global network, says Lucy Bernholz, a nonprofit consultant and founder of Blueprint Research & Design. On the blog, Philanthropy 2173, Ms. Bernholz discusses how mobile technology can be used as an effective social-media tool.
- If you lived in a world in which new donors were very scarce, what would you do? Tom Belford, a fund raiser, discusses on his blog, the Agitator, what steps might come after “retention, retention, retention.”
- On Change.org, Nathaniel Whittemore, founder of a start-up group called AssetMap, writes about the e-Bay sponsored Humanity Calls competition, which is “striving to prove that online giving contests can be more interesting, filling [sic], and fun for nonprofits than skeptics might otherwise believe.”
- Jeff Brooks, a nonprofit consultant, takes issue with a study by a company called Vitrue that estimated the value of Facebook fans.
