Building community in your area? Check out the Community Organizers Handbook. Includes everything you need to start and grow a NetSquared Local group or any other community-powered program.
Ross Chapman, Net Tuesday San Francisco's vlogger, has posted video of the presentations by Jeremy Pepper and Nate Ritter from last month's session, Organizing Your Community to Create Change with Twitter and the Point on NetSquared's Blip.tv Channel.
Tonight we're trying a little experiment and are going to stream video from Net Tuesday SF using Ustream. I say experiment because you know how it is the first time you use technology, there are always unforeseen glitches. That said, tune in tonight around 6:30 PM PST (the event starts at 6 PM, but the speakers don't usually start till 6:30), and we'll see what happens. The topic is Building Nonprofit Online Community with MyBlogLog, Yahoo! Groups and Upcoming and we have three speakers from Yahoo!:
Ian Kennedy, a Product Manager for MyBlogLog at Yahoo!, will discuss how nonprofits can use MyBlogLog to build community on their blog or web site.
Gordon Strause, a Product Manager for Yahoo! Groups, will talk about how nonprofits and social entrepreneurs are leveraging Yahoo! Groups to build their organizations and movements, and more generally about how nonprofits can best leverage social software.
Vince Maniago, Product Manager for Yahoo's social events site Upcoming, will discuss how individuals and organizations can use Upcoming as a platform to promote their events and ideas.
Hope you can join in and wish us luck!
