Even though this post is 14 months old, there are still lots of different people trying lots of different things. I think that the more we can do as a sector to figure out giving mechanisms that are well integrated with the experience of the network itself (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn).

Our model is that donors pledge a small amount of money for each update they make – no need to RT, tag, or send any specific message. Just tying a habit of giving to the habit of social media.

Thanks, Seth. Wow – a real fan?
I am pretty consistent in my messaging that it's all about engagement first, asking second. I think that's how it works in life: I'll pay a lot more attention to whatever you're asking me about if we have a strong tie or a personal connection than I will if you're contacting me through a cold email. I like the quote by Geoff Livingston, too, which really does sum up my philosophy. Thanks for sharing it.

Finally have a window of time to catch up on some reading. Debra, another great post (Yes I am a fan). I'm looking forward to your session at NTC.

Really like the connections shared here and in Laura Kaufman's comment as well. Consistent with other posts of yours that I have read, the importance on engagement and connection as a guiding principal and foundational criterion for success comes through clearly and something that resonates with me as well.

Reminds me of quote I liked shared by Geoff Livingston I believe that speaks to focusing on relationships not transactions.
