Too Many Social Networks, Not Enough Time

Oh God, not another social networking site...

From TechCrunch.com:

Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, Yahoo and now Google. What does these have in common? If you’re reading this blog, you probably have a profile on all of them. And those are just the obvious ones, you probably have a bunch of other profiles on a series of other networks too. The situation has become untenable.

I agree. Yet I am complicit... the article convinced me to add yet another profile to the mix:

Lord, please send us an aggregator site before all sleep is stolen for social networking...

Sleep when yer dead

For those of you who, like me, are awake at this godless hour, some opportunities that might be of interest....

And, don't forget that the last Wednesday of every month is The 501(c)lub! This is a FREE networking session for all staff, volunteers and "fans of" 501(c)(3) nonprofits. We're meeting for Happy Hour at the Elbow Room:

In honor of the 501(c)(3) organizations that are gathered, we are meeting at 5:01 p.m.

Come early, because I think I've convinced them to throw in some free food and drinks. Woohoo!

Party with a purpose!

It's the Conversation Economy, Stupid

This piece from David Armano, VP of Experience Design with Critical Mass, is stinkin' brilliant:

It's the Conversation Economy, Stupid

Just wish I had seen it the first time around.

Training Event tomorrow: Using MySpace and Facebook to build community

My friends at the Volunteer Center of North Texas somehow conned me into leading this workshop tomorrow:

The Power and Influence of Online Communities

Businesses, universities and now nonprofit organizations are turning to Facebook.com and MySpace.com to spread the mission of their agencies, communicate with volunteers and recruit new volunteers into their organizations. But this is no task for the technologically challenged. Gain knowledge on how to create accounts, and learn the pros and cons of communicating with this medium.

I've been told that 23 people have signed up. Those poor people have no idea what they're in for...
