I always think of Summertime as the biggest DIY (do-it-yourself) season of the year: BBQs and picnics, camping and games, home improvement and craft projects.   DIY isn't just for offline, at-home projects.   The DIY approach online means user generated content and creating opportunities for your supporters to show their skills.   And that's the topic of this month's Net2 Think Tank on user generated content!

Topic:

Can User Generated Content Create Unique Community Opportunities?

How has your organization encouraged user generated content? Have you used a campaign or a project to invite contributions? Do you have tips for successful invitations to create and share content with your organization or the community?   Have you seen community members championing your work online with their own spin? What case studies would you like to share to help those considering the option for user generated content?

Deadline:   Saturday, August 22nd

How to contribute:

• Blog your answer to the question either on your blog or the NetSquared blog. (For directions on contributing to the NetSquared blog, click here.)
