NTEN Member Buzz Round-Up: July 24th 2009
Flickr: Cambodia4Kidsorg: Can you idnetify the NTEN superstars?This is where I give props to announcements and activities about NTEN members. If you're an NTEN member and have nptech news, don't forget to tag your posts "NTEN member" or "nptech" -- and give me a heads-up!
The 1300th submission to the Getting Attention Nonprofit Tagline Awards is the Louisiana Association of Nonprofit Organizations (LANO). You can see their tagline and Nancy Schwartz's comments -- oh, and submit YOUR ORG's tag line -- here!
David Neff's Lights. Camera. Help! is set to kick off its first film festival next week, and they've announced the films and schedule. It's the first film festival dedicated to nonprofit and cause-driven films. Kudos to David and his team for putting this event together.
Laura Norvig (ETR Associates) guest posts on Beth Kanter's blog, writing about Friendfeed for nonprofit use. She was inspired in her thinking by fellow NTEN superstar members Maddie Grant and Lindy Dryer when she dropped in on the Office Hours session they've dubbed the "NTEN Water Cooler."
By the way, have you heard? We're re-thinking the Office Hours format and launching a different type of session to get our members together for sharing best practices, questions, and to talk about the nonprofit tech issues affecting us today: learn more about the NTEN RoundTable Sessions.
Charity Dynamics has been up to some good this year, working with other NTEN member organizations like FreeCause, the Humane Society, and the American Heart Association to leverage social technologies to raise money and awareness for good causes. See their latest press here.
Last but not least for this week, check out all the ways Judy Hallman and her organizing team are getting her local community activated: the Triangle 501 Tech Club, in conjunction with other local groups under the new umbrella title NCTech4Good, is on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Go ahead and connect with them!
