Friendly Web Tools Blog

Just off the chute of the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network conference in Boston - great networking with some of the charitable organizations in the area. A few quick tech takeaways:

• No one knows the term “microblogging,” but they’ve heard of Twitter. (Hint, Twitter is a microblogging app. Same with Plurk. Follow me.)
• Few organizations are happy with their website as it stands.
• Everyone’s interested in social media but have no idea where to begin learning about it (Hint: if you’re a Massachusetts congregation, here’s your chance.)
• The older generations are in a totally different place when it comes to being online than the younger generations, but at least they know it.

Good news! I’ll be making an in-person appearance at the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network conference on October 24 at Bentley College. Talance will have a table, and I’ll also be giving a mini-presentation on Web Mistakes That Could Cost You.

Let me know if you’ll be there (the comments box below is handy for this), and we’ll connect.

Let me know if you’ll be in Boston for Drupalcon 2008 - I’d love to meet you. I’m on the planning committee for the event and am helping to organize. If you’ll be in town, let me know, and I’ll be happy to see you there! http://groups.drupal.org/boston2008
