This month's Net2ThinkTank question was, How Can Nonprofits Use Flickr? Below is a round up of your answers:

Joe Solomon recommends checking out Beth Kanter's Flickr and Nonprofits Primer, and the socialmedia4change wiki for examples.

Beth Kanter points to the TechSoup article, How Nonprofits Can Get The Most out of Flickr, and suggests asking Steve Bridger, the Flickr for Good Evangelist in the UK, for ideas.

Steve Bridger writes that one of the ways nonprofits can use Flickr is to capture evidence:

Joseph Kimojino is the head of tourism & anti-animal harassment for Mara Conservancy. He does a great job of using his Flickr account to capture photo evidence of poaching & then demonstrates the impact of supporter giving through his blog.

A BIG congratulations to CompuMentor/TechSoup  Co-CEO, Marnie Webb, for being named one of the 50 most powerful and influential people in the nonprofit sector on The Nonprofit Times' annual list.  Marnie is one of the driving forces behind TechSoup's NetSquared initiative.

Marnie is a frequent speaker and writer on nonprofits and technology, a founding member of the Nonprofit Emerging Technology Exchange, and an organizer of the NPTech tagging experiment.  You can read her NPTech musings on her blog, ext337.

Congratulations, Marnie!
