Thanks for posting the link to the article of Blackbaud as well as your suggestions to 'increase the "stickiness" of a website. Addressing your request for examples of organizations that combine the use of fundraising channels and social media: I'm currently working for a new, innovative organization called Play it Forward. Launching in Febuary 2009 we aim to grow into a global social network that brings together people and development projects to make a positive change worldwide. In order to achieve this we use new media and social media. The website features an interactive globe that people can browse for development projects that appeal to them. Once a project has been found people can donate or support the project in other ways. In return they get full insight into the project's details while they will be kept updated through video messages made by the project's fieldworkers. Supporters ('Players') get their own profile page that they can use to interact with fellow Players, friends, fieldworkers etc. Think of the gameplay of the Sims, the usability of Google Earth and the social impact of Facebook combined! For more ideas on the concept check out www.playitforward.nl and don't hesitate to ask me any questions/send me feedback on the plan so far. Chris Kaput Hey there!
