Check out the Twitter backlash here. It seems [...]

I went to Podcamp Boston 3 last weekend, despite being busier than I’ve been all year, because Podcamp is not to be missed. For those of us who are deeply into social media — whether it’s blogging, podcasting, twittering, facebooking, flickring, or any combination of the above (and more) — this is our chance to [...]

I’ve got very little time to spare these days and for the next little while, as we are fast approaching the date of my organization’s major event on Sunday, August 3, at the same time as we are getting ready to launch our new website (about to launch in beta in about ten days – [...]

social networking for the painfully shy

by BethDunn on June 10, 2008

Brightkite is a location-based social network, in which you post your location when you feel like updating. You can also post photos, which is nice. However, I am [...]

I’m leading an eight-week course for artists on how they can use a combination of new and old media to promote themselves and get the word out about their art, and tonight one of the artists asked me that question. (You can visit the class [...]

The mega-festival that is SXSWi (South by Southwest Interactive, also known as Spring Break for the Internet) has been underway for two days now, and many of us have been watching it from home through Twitter, Flickr, the occasional livestream, and related blog posts.

one simple thing done well

by BethDunn on March 6, 2008

…what makes a successful online community? A single, easy-to-use feature. Click here to participate. Do only this one thing. After you get your participants “addicted,” go ahead and add another thing. That’s the buried nugget of gold from Francine Hardaway’s excellent post about what makes an effective online community.

another source for nonprofit news

by BethDunn on March 3, 2008

Guy Kawasaki’s new Alltop website keeps rolling out new section pages, and the latest to catch my eye, not surprisingly, is the Nonprofit News links page. It’s a pretty phenomenal resource.
