Using Social Media for Social Good

June 27, 2008 · Comments

I don’t have a lot to add here. Patrick Byers has blogged his presentation from PodCamp Seattle on how to use social media tools to create social good. It’s definitely worth flipping through and considering. I know that there’s quite a number of people in this community who help with nonprofits and other social responsibility projects.

Check out Patrick’s presentation here.

ChrisBrogan.com runs on the Thesis Theme for WordPress

Thesis WordPress theme

Thesis is the search engine optimized WordPress theme of choice for serious online publishers. If you’re a blogger who doesn’t understand a lot of PHP, Thesis will give a ton of functionality without having to alter any code. For the advanced, Thesis has incredible customization possibilities via Thesis hooks.

With so many design options, you can use the template over and over and never have it look like the same site. The theme is robust and flexible enough not only to accommodate a site like ChrisBrogan.com, but also to enable the site to run far more efficiently than it ever has before.

  • Hi Chris - funny, we were just emailing about non-profit resources...thanks for highlighting this presentation!
  • What a great presentation! I plan to pass along to quite a few people I know who will find this relevant and helpful in their jobs and specifically, nonprofits. As always, thanks for sharing and helping to keep the dialogue going!
  • Social networks focus on the number of friends the individual has and highlight the differences between individuals in such a factual form that it is no longer possible to "blend in" to society, you either "fit in" or you don't. There is no provision for partial anonymity, especially if they are not the one controlling the content and therefore a person can be more easily picked out and victimised both online and in person. I do find it odd that people refer to their 2,000 myspace "friends". I think this redefines the traditional meaning of friends. Certainly not the definition I am familiar with. Does this devalue the meaning of friendship? almost definitely. Does it lead to antisocial behavior, possible. As people dispense with their on line "friends" like used goods, so too may the dispense with real friends.
