Another Online Event: Impact of Web 2.0 on Nonprofits
Things are abuzz these days with online events coming out of communities and domains without a lot of history of online events! It makes me giddy. It is funny how you evangelize, tell people great things can happen -- for ages -- then all of a sudden when the conditions are ripe, things begin to pop. What is it our moms told us about timing???
Via Beth's Blog. "TechSoup Online Event: October 24-October 28, on The Impact of Web 2.0 on nonprofits
Their intro: Join CompuMentor’s community engagement program director John Lorance and a host of leading Web technology advocates as they demystify Web 2.0 technologies and illustrate how using new socially oriented technological innovations can help the nonprofit community. Web 2.0 technologies such as tagging, social bookmarking and online social networks, blogging, content sharing through Wikis and RSS, and new Web widgets need not only be in the hands of well-funded developers; but also can be used by organizations to further their missions.
Save the dates: October 24-October 28
Join us the week of October 24, for a free, five-day online event, in the TechSoup Emerging Technology forum www.techsoup.org/web2event
as we discuss issues such as:
*What do we mean by Web 2.0?
*How can you use an RSS feed to get pushed information as well as to push your content to others?
*What on earth is a Wiki? How is it better than the old-fashioned Web site?
*What is tagging and how is it relevant? How can you learn from others’ Web searches?
*What are widgets and how can these new tools help you solve age-old problems?
*How can an online social network help your organization find volunteers?
Co-hosts include:
Marnie Webb of CompuMentor,
Ruby Sinreich two-time winner of “Best Blog” from The Independent Weekly;

Thanks for the mention Nancy, and i would love to see you there at www.techsoup.org/web2event
Actually, for the record, we have been holding online events at TechSOup.org for four+ years now. I thought you had participated in one once? Anyway, it's nice that for wahtever reason, this one is getting more airtime than those in the past. I thank the blogosphere for that!
Best,
