NetSquared recently followed up with the N2Y3 Featured Projects to develop these short case studies, with the goal to expand the knowledgebase of best practices for applying social media in the nonprofit context. We interviewed participants from the N2Y3 Featured Project teams to gain a better understanding of the way they used social media to increase their reach and carry out their missions. We are very happy to bring you their stories!

Today's spotlight: MoveSmart!

With this week as history-laden as it is, it seems that all bloggers (on the micro and macro scale), are taking time to give props to the rad folks who are keeping the history of all-around do-gooder-ship (you can tellI made that one up, right?) alive. Thus far, Google Reader has delivered to my blog-hungry soul entry after entry covering the extraordinary efforts of this collective, or that activist in order to highlight the spirit of Dr. Martin Luther King and the progress illustrated by the dynamic achievements of Barack Obama.

Yesterday Peter of Social Actions, a fellow NetSquared Featured Project, and MoveSmart.org practiced our pitches for the upcoming NetSquared Conference. Peter’s posted a video of his pitch, and an audio version of ours is below. According to the folks who attended last year, three themes emerged in the questions from conference attendees, who will be voting to determine who takes home what share of $100k in prize money - social impact, tech innovation, and sustainability. Our goal was to address all three in around 10-15 minutes.
