intro
Timing is everything
We couldn't have picked a better time to join netsquared.org. Within 24 hrs of signing up, we noticed the subject of this months Net2 Think Tank - Can User Generated Content Create Unique Community Opportunities? One word - INDUBITABLY.
I would be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to introduce our project to the Net2 Community. www.socialchangenews.com is the internets' hub for news on social change that combines original user-created content (UCC) with the latest aggregated news on organizations, and individuals working to transform society. Since this directly relates to our project, we look forward to sharing and learning as much as we can for the next few weeks.

We're on Flickr! So now what?
The net2thinktank question about non-profits on Flickr is what brought me here... but now that I'm all registered and logged on, I'm drawing a blank. The truth is, non-profits are doing lots of great things with Twitter, some of which are truly impressive.
My NPO has only begun to scratch the surface of social media. We have a Flickr account. We have a few pics up, some different versions of our logo. One on the main reasons we created a Flickr account was to put information out there for the local media to access when they want to feature us in a story. Thus far they've had to contact us for pictures, and since we haven't had many good pictures on hand anyway, we've missed out on some potentially great coverage.

thank you N2Y3
so, we haven't even started yet and we're already getting some excellent feedback! thanks to the N2Y3 exposure, a kid from bangalore (!) who's been following the conference (a few time zones ahead...) has sent us his support, not just in tech terms but also for volunteering activities on the ground and feeding us local info.

Hi from Global Kids, glad to be here
I am excited to be at the NetSquared conference alongside several other non-profits actively using virtual worlds in their work. Global Kids ( http://olp.globalkids.org ) have a number of interesting virtual world and transmedia projects that I look forward to presenting to folks on Wednesday, along with my colleagues. And I can't want to hear about the other mash-up projects being proposed by others and meet other non-profit and tech industry folks interested in the social media space.
Now it's after midnight and I should get some rest before tomorrow's activities begin.

Shout out!
Hi, everyone. I am looking forward to meeting you at the NetSquared conference this week. N2 is one of the most interesting and impactful organizations I have run across in more than 20 years of work in media, nonprofits, and social enterprises. So I am very grateful to have the opportunity to support the organization in a small way as a live-blogger at this year's conference.
A little about me:

It's On in the Morning
Hello Fellow NetSquaredians,
Looking forward to the conference to start tomorrow morning. Some of my interests include technology, sociology, volunteering and project management. I think I can work all of those into play tomorrow.
Everyone's introductions sound impressive and accomplished so I'm looking forward to meeting folks in person.
I'm not with any company or organization. I'll be a free agent.

Greetings to fellow N2Y3 attendees
Hi everyone,
 My name is Andy Lieberman and I recently began working with Santa Clara University's Center for Science, Technology, and Society on the KnowledeX Project. We are building a community of practice for social benefit entrepreneurs working to solve all kinds of problems, primarily in developing countries.
Prior to this job, I lived for a number of years in Guatemala and founded a non-profit that helps Mayans cross the digital divide without leaving their language and culture behind.
 I look forward to an exciting couple of days with all of you.
