Introduction to Web 2.0 for Nonprofits - NYC October 8, 2008

Introduction to Web 2.0 for Nonprofits
Presented by Valerie Venezia, VP Membership & Marketing, CCSNYS
There's a lot of buzz out there about Web 2.0 right now. This simple catch phrase is being used to describe the phenomenon of increased interaction (with donors, clients, board members, and the general public) online. What impact can (or should) Web 2.0 have on your nonprofit organization. How do you avoid "drinking the Web 2.0 Kool-Aid?" If someone at your organization has ever said "hey, we need a blog!" this may help you sort through the pros and cons of doing just that (along with deciding whether or not you should be on Facebook, Flickr or YouTube.) First we'll discuss the purpose of Web 2.0 and how these tools can change the culture of nonprofit organizations. We'll discuss specific examples of how they can change the nature of things like special events, online giving and internal office efficiencies. Second we'll talk about the basic functionality of different tools like Blogs, RSS Feeds, Video Story-telling, Social Networking, Social Bookmarking, and others. If time allows we can demonstrate some of the Web 2.0 tools that allow us to take donations, update websites, share photos, connect to RSS feeds, post videos online and more.
