Video: Social Media for Nonprofits

Sarah Davies — Thu, 28 May 2009 17:45:46 +0000

This is a video of a panel run by NPower Seattle‘s Peg Giffels for the Kellog Action Lab. It features Zan McColloch-Lussier from the Pride Foundation, Jessica Ross from Treehouse, and me. We mostly cover Twitter and Facebook, but we frequently diverge into other web territories. Please feel free to spread the video around. I won’t sue you.

Some of the resources mentioned on the panel:
