For this month's Net2 Think Tank, we asked you for your tips, tools, and suggestions for communicating online within a team. Many organizations have found ways to work seamlessly across the hall or across an ocean using online tools to facilitate their internal communication, but finding the right tools for your team takes effort. This round-up aims to help you to jump-start your creative juices and re-think the way you look at internal communications.
Feeding America is a network of over 200 food banks across the country. These food banks are there own 501(c)3 organizations and have their own boards. To coordinate efforts both nationally and locally, we have to use online tools and social media to coordinate our efforts.
We have a team in our communication department devoted to internal communications. The primary web portal is our extranet for our members, HungerNet.
External communication practices have been transformed by the growth of the internet and in particular blogging, micro blogging, and other services like Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.

Share examples of how your group, organization, or company is using online tools to communicate internally!
