Just a quick reminder to email the URL of your Net2ThinkTank post to me at bbravo@techsoup.org by tomorrow, August 27th, at 5 PM PT ( I extended the deadline from Noon).

This month's Net2ThinkTank question is:

How Can Nonprofits Use Flickr? 

You can see the original post with further directions for how to participate at, Join the Net2ThinkTank: How Can Nonprofits Use Flickr?

The net2thinktank question about non-profits on Flickr is what brought me here... but now that I'm all registered and logged on, I'm drawing a blank. The truth is, non-profits are doing lots of great things with Twitter, some of which are truly impressive.

My NPO has only begun to scratch the surface of social media. We have a Flickr account. We have a few pics up, some different versions of our logo. One on the main reasons we created a Flickr account was to put information out there for the local media to access when they want to feature us in a story. Thus far they've had to contact us for pictures, and since we haven't had many good pictures on hand anyway, we've missed out on some potentially great coverage.

At OpenGreenMap.org, our newest mapmaking resource is an interactive platform and social networking website. The Open Green Map has mashed-up Flickr's API code, allowing to us to showcase images of green living sites, natural and cultural resources submitted by Mapmakers and the website's users around the world.

Global Teenager Project (GTP), over the years, has aimed at bringing together students from all over the world in a safe and secure environment to engage in exchanges that promote inter-cultural awareness. It has also focused on improving the quality of education by introducing schools to exciting new applications of ICTs. A number of activities fall under the Global Teenager Project on an annual basis; chat sessions, pilot projects with other organisations.

Last night at Net Tuesday San Francisco, Tara Kirchner, Senior Marketing Manager for Yahoo! Inc., and Carol Rudisill, Director of TechSoup Stock, presented about Flickr for Good. Flickr for Good is donating 10,000 1-year Flickr pro accounts to nonprofit organizations in partnership with TechSoup Stock.

They have some lovely examples on the Flickr for Good site of how nonprofits are using Flickr, and are looking for more, which inspires this month's Net2ThinkTank question:

How Can Nonprofits Use Flickr?

This month's Net2ThinkTank question is, How Can Nonprofits Use Online Video to Raise Money? Below is a round up of posts that were submitted, along with a few addditional ones I found on the topic:

Michael Hoffman of See3 Communications posted 11 Tips for Using Online Video to Raise Money.

Manny Hernandez of the Diabetes Hands Foundation shared how they have raised almost $2,000 using a ChipIn widget, and calls to action on videos they added to TuDiabetes.com and YouTube. You can watch his video-based campaign reminder on his post,  Video-based Fundraising Campaign for TuDiabetes.com.

In a comment on Beth Kanter's post about this month's Net2ThinkTank, Brad Bell pointed to his post about Avaaz, Using Video to Speak Directly to Donors.

The Diabetes Hands Foundation runs three different units. One of them, our Online Communities, operates TuDiabetes.com (in English) and EsTuDiabetes.com (in Spanish), two social networks for people touched by diabetes.

In July 2007, a Pew Internet and American Life study report found, "57% of internet users have watched videos online and most of them share what they find with others."

In April 2008, ComScore reported that, "71 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video," that month.

With online video viewing seemingly on the rise, this month's Net2ThinkTank question is,

Each month we ask you to weigh in on a Net2ThinkTank question in a post on your blog, or the NetSquared Blog. It's getting to be that time of month again, and I'm wondering, what do you think should be this month's Net2ThinkTank question?

Inspired by Allison Fine's report for the Case Foundation, "Social Citizens," this month's Net2ThinkTank question was, "Is Online Activism Good for Social Change?"

Ivan Boothe of thequixoticlife says that online activism is good for social change, but the bigger question is:
