One thing that I’m interested in (along with 90% of the nonprofit world) is the connection and potential return on investment between social media and the organization. A few great blog posts have been floating around out there that I thought I should share for those of you looking into the same issues as myself. Check ’em out:

• Facebook and Nonprofits: Success Stories? ROI?
  Nonprofit Tech 2.0 asks Is Facebook just overhyped as a communications tool? Where’s that ROI everyone’s talking about? A good conversation going on in the comments about these issues. Interesting to see the different points of view from different organizations.
• How to Bring Facebook Fans to Your Nonprofit Blog: Part 1
  Rebecca from Wild Apricot Blog looks at the connection between Facebook and your blog showing you some reasons that you might want to make an effort to move your audience between the two and ways in which to do it.
• 6 Essential Social Media Plug-Ins for Your Blog
  John Haydon presents a list of plug-ins that you can add to your blog to enhance its connectivity to your social media outlets. You may notice a couple new additions around the blog you’re reading now. 🙂
• Micro-Volunteering for the Haiti Earthquake
  Beth Kanter takes a look at some organizations that allow average Joes and Janes like us to contribute to the Haiti earthquake relief efforts. Only vaguely related to blogs and social media but sweet nonetheless.

These posts are definitely worth a peruse. Hope they help!
