We Are Media Toolbox: RSS Readers
Welcome to Day 2 of the We Are Media Toolbox extravaganza! Today's topic: RSS readers.
There's so much more information out there than we can competently digest, one of the skills we need to master in this new age is information management. Enter RSS readers. One of the first people I remember hearing talk about RSS and readers in the nonprofit space was Marnie Webb. I'm glad I heard her, because I would be lost without my reader!
Personal Tech Solutions: Getting & Staying Organized with Social Media
Flickr Photo: not waltonSince I became Executive Director of NTEN last November, the number of things I've needed to stay on top of has exploded. On any given day, I need to be an expert in:
- Social Media tools and strategies
- DNS settings
- Nonprofit and Board Governance
- How innovative nonprofits are using technology
- The state of municipal wireless
- Email open rates
- Human resources laws
- Anything and everything NTEN members are up to
- And everything anyone is saying about NTEN
My old way of managing information was not cutting it. Although I use a lot of social media tools, I was very email-inbox centric. My inbox was the place I kept articles I wanted to read later, ideas I wanted to follow up on, and all of my to-do items.
The result? If you emailed me in the last three months, I probably didn't respond very quickly, if at all. That's no way to lead a membership organization.
