Got npskillz? Tools & tactics for nonprofit social media

Em Hall and I presented to a great crowd at Digital Capital Week's nonprofit day today. Thanks, everybody for turning out — and thanks for the super questions. Check them on Twitter #npskillz.

My favorite, "Focus on brand or issues for NPO social media?" 

Humungous thanks to @emilyhaha for the kickoff idea and wisdom as always!

Update: Here's the text of the presentation, since the text seems to have gotten lost between Keynote for the iPad and Scribd. (What is up with Keynote's PDF export?)

On your mark 

  • How do I get started with these tools?

  • We've got a blog. Where do posts come from?

How about a blog? 

  • Why would I use a blog vs Facebook or Twitter?
