NetSquared posted this intriguing question: How can nonprofits use Twitter? Since I’ve been getting into Twitter lately, I’ve been thinking about its work-related applications. Unfortunately, Twitter already has a bad reputation as a time-waster overcome by noise about what people had for breakfast and similar daily minutiae. I’ve already found it to be a good place to get news and links of interest to me, though, just by following people who are luminaries in the nptech and social media worlds. And I think it has a lot of potential for geographically dispersed teams to report on their work without the annoyances of IM interruptions. I want more ideas on this, so I’m going to be looking for NetSquared’s follow-up to their question.
Here is a nice list from the blog The Big Picture: How Associations Can Use Twitter. There are a lot of practical ideas in this list.
