Danielle blogs about an article over at Tech Soup, titled “How to Use MySpace to Raise Awareness“. There are some great tips for organizations looking to use social networking tools like MySpace in their work.
Author Eileen Cruz Coleman spoke with folks at Defenders of Wildlife, Oxfam America, and The Humane Society of the United States for a chat about how they’ve been using MySpace to find new friends who “. . . then invite more friends to join the group and so on, ultimately allowing the nonprofit to reach people well beyond its original circle.”

As I was working on two of my final projects for Emerson this semester about Creative Commons, I noticed the site was down earlier this morning. When it finally showed up again I noticed the site looked totally different. Looks great!
Here’s the nifty new CC image for this site:

Exciting news from CCTV!
“Diana Ransom of the Wall Street Journal writes, ‘Cambridge Community Television, a public-access Web site serving Cambridge, Mass., offers a seminar course that has students create documentaries about neighborhoods in the city. The videos will be geotagged and inserted into a Google map of the city. When people click on a small icon overlaid on a certain street, they might see a short profile of a local nonprofit or a community figure. Eli Kao, the site’s online community developer, expects the program’s approach to ‘portray a living, breathing community in a way not possible with traditional maps and demographic data.’”
Another great example of innovative uses of technology happening in Public Access TV. To learn more, visit Community Media in Transition.
