Community & Social Media

In order to stay up to date on what's going on in the world of technology - and nonprofit technology in particular - I follow quite a few blogs and twitter feeds.

So, for those of you who have less time to do all this "listening" on nonprofit technology, I'm posting a blog each Friday with the top resources I found in the last week.

As I discussed in my previous post on social media policy, I think there is a lot of value in taking the time to put some thought into how you want your organization to approach social media and formalize it in a document that everyone can share and understand. In this post I’m going to share some examples of nonprofit social media policies and discuss how you can create your own.
