Join Our Wiki Carnival Here!

David Wilcox and I are running a Wiki Carnival to collect resources on using social media and Web 2.0 tools in nonprofits. David runs the Social Media Wiki and he and I are trying to work together more closely to build a collaborative pool of information and resources for nonprofits to use related to social media. We're also trying to build a larger community of practice that connects technology stewards and others together.

To participate in the Carnival, you can:

• Send links to any of your blog items that you believe should be linked in the wiki. Even better write a new item!
• Send us a video or podcast or link related to using Web 2.0/social media tools that might be helpful. We're particularly interested in real-world examples, case studies, etc.
• Let us know what  del.icio.us tags you use ... maybe socialmedia, collaboration ... then we can look for stuff you have bookmarked
• Recommend other blogs, books, articles that you think will be useful.
• Send us questions you'd like answered or ideas you have for resources that would be helpful to you in using social media with nonprofits.

You can either e-mail me (michelemmartin at gmail dot com) or you can edit this page and post your information right here. Just click on the "Edit This Page" button at the top and then enter the password (nptech). Add your edits and then click on the save button at the bottom of the page.
