Ok, a little more focus here, how might an organization use social networks on line, to boost their project?

This is a rapidly evolving sector.

There are sites like Myspace, Facebook and quite a few others.

I think one of the goals is to educate the public, expose, but also to find people who already have a common ground to a project.

Interested to hear views on this.

Tips for adding RSS feeds on websites

I have looked at a bunch of nonprofit websites which currently use RSS feeds. Many of these sites do not have much explanation about the RSS feed.

For example, the link says subscribe to RSS feed. What is the content of the RSS feed?

It helps to let the readers and users of your website know what the RSS feed is about.

I have also noticed alot of websites include information about RSS. There is information about what it is and how to subscribe. This is a great thing to add since many readers and users are not familiar with RSS.
