Videos

I'm a big time visual learner so videos really work for me.  I wanted to include a couple of videos that talk about the relationship between nonprofits and social media.  It’s a topic that’s very important to the longevity and sustainability for nonprofits. 

This is a really great video I found that speaks about the organization Live Strong.  This is Lance Armstrong’s cancer organization that had a summit in August 2009.  The interview is with the organization’s social media employee.  She speaks about the use of social media to advertise the summit as well as track conversations and trending topics on Twitter as the summit is happening.  People with questions were able to connect with Sanja Gupta, a board member of Live Strong, through a webcast.  

Because I am such a visual person, I began searching how social media video can help nonprofits.  I found this:

It details the different video approaches nonprofits can take to convey their organization through the medium of video.  It talks about how to videos, a day in the life videos and documentaries.  I think we live in a very visually driven world and it's important to embrace video and learn how to do it effectively.
