Digital Ecology: The New Organization's Digital Footprint (Because Websites Are So 1996)

Submitted by Brett on Thu, 03/24/2011 - 11:14am

Do you remember the first website you worked on? I do. It was back in 1996, made in support of a psychology textbook. It had a green bar on the left side for no good reason, and forced people to move through activities linearly. It was terrible, and yet it stayed live for years, much to my chagrin.

These days, we create new sites, microsites, campaign sites, program sites, Facebook pages, Twitter accounts... but only rarely have the time to think about how they work together – or whether they're still necessary. Philip Djwa's been thinking intensively about the subject, and will discuss this new reality at our upcoming webinar, "Digital Ecology: The New Organization's Digital Footprint".

  • The importance of thinking through a digital ecology
  • Some concrete examples of great digital ecologies created by nonprofits
  • Ten tips to develop a digital ecology for your organization

That first website was like portfolio antimatter: if it touched a real site, they'd both be 404-ed out of existence. Anybody brave enough to link to a website -- one of yours -- that you wish somebody would pull the plug on? Share in comments, below.
