When it comes to online tools for nonprofits, NGOs, schools, government programs and other mission-based organizations to use with clients, volunteers, employees, donors and others, I have strong feelings about some being better than others.<\/p>\n

(What?! Me?! “Strong feelings”?! Surely I jest…)<\/p>\n

Here is my super-simplified views on such:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Flickr<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nFacebook<\/td>\n(for photo sharing)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
YahooGroups<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nLinkedIn groups<\/td>\n(for discussions & networking)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Google Groups<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nLinkedIn groups<\/td>\n(for discussions & networking)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
YahooGroups<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nGoogle Groups<\/a><\/td>\n(for discussions & networking)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Google Calendar<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nYahoo Calendar<\/a><\/td>\n(for private use or sharing with others)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Thunderbird<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nMicrosoft Outlook<\/td>\n(for reading email on a computer instead of the cloud)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Firefox<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nMS Internet Explorer<\/td>\n(for web browsing)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
NeoOffice<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nMicrosoft Office<\/td>\n(for documents, spreadsheets, slide shows\/presentations, etc.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Twitter<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nFacebook<\/a><\/td>\n(for networking with other agencies)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Girl Guides of Canada Facebook page<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nGirl Scouts of the USA Facebook page<\/a><\/td>\n(for networking with other agencies)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Girl Guides of Canada Twitter feed<\/a><\/td>\n><\/span><\/td>\nGirl Scouts of the USA Twitter feed<\/a><\/td>\n(for networking with other agencies)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Okay, those last two aren’t tools – they are organizations. But I’m blown away at how awesome the Girl Guides of Canada organization is on Facebook and Twitter, as opposed to their USA counterpart, and I think compairing their social media use, side-by-side, is a really great<\/em> tutorial on how to effectively use social media to engage<\/em>, not just broadcast.<\/p>\n

Okay, let’s see your list. Keep the “why” brief.<\/p>\n
