Digging deeper into the social software & not-for-profit world, a few things have turned up.
- Steve Bridger's work really knocked my socks off. I'm still going thru this presentation but there are two things that resonate very strongly with me:
- The web of relationships that NFPs have to manage is complex - service recipients, staff, donors, volunteers. The promise of social software is to both broaden and deepen these relationships. To make them more transparent and to make them stronger.
- Social software should support what those people do already - it shouldn't be about making heaps of extra work.

Hi Matt. Your research into this area is really interesting :) The credit crunch has definitely hit these organisations in a negative way and the people they are trying to help.
I have done a couple of things for Opportunity International Australia and Women's Opportunity like these slides and hopefully a more coordinated social media strategy this year as part of my volunteer role there.
