Net2Builders Call to Action: Tag Bay Area Nonprofits Using the Social Web
Every Wednesday I post a Call to Action on our Net2Builders group and to the Net2 blog so check it out, and answer the call!
We would like to do some video interviews with Bay Area nonprofits who are using blogs, podcasts, vlogs, RSS feeds, social networking, social bookmarking, aggregation and/or wikis in their work.
If you know of nonprofits using these tools, would you either send me the URL, and if you know it, the contact info. for someone who works there, OR tag it "net2", and I'll catch it in the Net2 news aggregator.
