Techsoup article on Social Networking
Techsoup.org recently held an event on social networks in relation to non-profits. I personally was active on the forum. Reading what people wrote brought me some new perspectives. Also I wrote about Helpalot to get feedback, it brought me good info, links and contacts.
Brian Satterfield wrote a nice long article:
What Can Social Networking Do for Your Organization?
Tips and tools to help your nonprofit get the most out of online networks
He wrote a paragraph about the Helpalot project:
“To provide charities with their own targeted social network, Julius Huijnk, an interaction design student at the High School of the Arts in Utrecht, Netherlands, is building a social networking site called Helpalot.org, a platform through which charitable organizations can gain recognition for their work and raise more funds. Huijnk hopes that the site will help users locate charities that match their interests and connect with others who care about the same causes. Although Huijnk isn’t sure how soon Helpalot.org will launch, he suggests users follow his progress at Making the Site.”
