Beyond the Basics: Emerging Technologies and Advancement
A presentation about social media delivered at the annual development conference of the Association of Independent Schools of Greater Washington, "Logging on: Better Development Through Technology," on June 17, 2003, in Alexandria, Va.
Presentation description
Once you've built a compelling website that makes your case, engages donors, and facilitates giving, it's worth considering how emerging technologies might advance your e-philanthropy. From user-generated content (think YouTube, Flickr, and Wikipedia) to self-publishing tools (blogs and podcasts) to social networking sites (facebook, MySpace, and Second Life), it's a new day every day online. In this session, we'll explore the emerging technology landscape with an eye toward what's tested, what's tempting, and what's trouble.
