New Media tools for Non Profits

For those of you who attended the WEDU event today for Non-Profits, here are some of the tools I promised to tell you about.

Message Boards - We use website toolbox – www.websitetoolbox.com; it's really inexpensive.

Constant Contact - Great tool for collecting and managing emails and sending email communications. It's also great for seeing who opened your emails and clicked through to your website. They offer a discount to non profits.

Meetup.com -- social site that allows people to gather around an interest. this might be a good way to find an audience who are already interested in your topic.

Yahoo has a great article on RSS and how you can publish your own RSS.

GoDaddy.com offers inexpensive web hosting, web templates, email addresses, and even web site registration and renewal.

Blogs -- blogger.com

Surveymonkey.com -- easy to make internet surveys. It's a great tool to get some feedback from your donors, board, etc.

I think that's all that we covered today. If anyone has questions, feel free to contact me!
