Beth’s Blog
Would you like to learn how networked nonprofits are using social media to power change…just by reading one blog?

This week, Beth shared insight on the intersection of social media and each of the following: wikis, conference learning, capacity building, and nonprofit innovation. We’re fans, become Beth’s 8276th fan!

We may have a slight bias on this one because their format is similar to ours. Follow the directions for MFAN News Clips to join.
