I will not spend all my time on Flickr or Skitch or Second Life or Twitter or...

Beth Kanter is one of the best on Social Media and Non Profits. Whether it's Second Life, fundraising by mobile phone, RSS , Twitter or  Click to Give FREE mammograms -- she is your maven (def: someone who is dazzlingly skilled in any field!) & she's busy too writing about all of these already in February!

So I am having a bit of fun with Beth's post yesterday "Seeking Stories Examples & Tips from Non-Profits About using Flickr" (and yes it is a reflection of my sudden obsession with Skitch) I Skitched Beth's Flickr photo (courtesy X2 of Locator) here...

There is a point to all this -- one more great way for non-profits to get their WORD out is Squidoo FREE -- I can't say enough about the utility and promise of this platform especially for Non-Profits. (btw Skitch FREE makes it soar!) I have made many lenses  on behalf of charities like Susan G Komen, Relay for Life, Ride of Silence and Walk for pkd [what's that?] to name a few -- each provides another avenue of information and awareness (and Google live bait) for these worthy causes. As Squidoo founder Seth Godin says, in his FREE eBook Unique Useful & Updated

"It's not that difficult, but it takes some strategy to build web pages that attract traffic...not just today, but for a long time after they're built."

And I think Beth would agree with Seth that all the social media in the world is at best whipped cream on a meatball unless you do the hard work -- it's OK your website is probably not dead....YET! (see :58 seconds in!)
