Beth’s Blog: Flickr Affinity Group Meeting at NTC: Here’s Nonprofit and Flickr Resource List

This is an excellent overview of using flickr in non profits and for individual use.

How to do you explain flickr to those who haven’t heard of it?

Flickr is a web-based digital photo sharing application that uses tags to facilitate finding people and photos. It isn’t simply about putting your photos up on the web for the world to see. What if you could invite other people from the around the world to have discussions about those images? What if you and your colleagues could annotiate these photos with your own descrptions and observations? What if you could become part of an online community that contributes images of similar topics for you to consume? And, what if you could subscribe to an RSS feed so anytime a new picture was added about a topic you care about, were studying, or writing about – it would come automatically to you?

Thank you so much for the shout out and kind words. I delighted to discover your blog! I’m working on a web2.0 presentation right now for extension and have been looking at examples of youth groups/web2.0 – so great to discover your musings.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
