A new report commissioned by See3, Edelman, and YouTube's Nonprofit Program entitled "Into Focus" is the first survey to look at the how nonprofit organizations are using video, the barriers to use, and the ROI of a video strategy. The report offers value to nonprofit organizations on both a practical level (for example, offering an illustrated decision path on how to make a popular and effective video) and as a benchmark report for how organizations are leveraging video and allocating resources to its production and distribution. The big findings are not about how organizations are using video, but what they are not doing.

It's conference submission season, and I'm ready to be dazzled. The field of nonprofit technology is constantly changing, while conferences stay with stasis rather than future-thinking. We are now presenting to "born digital" organizations, digital natives, and nonprofits that have been using social media for many years now and more of them attend our sessions each year.

Idealware has just released its latest report, "Exploring Cutting Edge Social Media," which explores the questions "when should you use new social media tools and channels, why, and for what use."

The best parts of the report deal with why an organization should use "cutting edge" social media, determining the best time in the lifecycle of a social media channel to try it out, and descriptions of some of the newest sites. In this blog post, I review the report and offer an overview of Idealware's detailed analysis of new and developing social media tools.

The imitable Sarah Robinson recently spoke about the irony that daily deal sites such as Living Social offer incentive deals for new customers, yet it is even more important to reward your most loyal customers with your best pricing. That really stuck in my head. Mission-driven organizations have not really thought much rewarding loyalty by offering their very best deals to their most loyal online fans. And frankly, it's an oversight, because it's a game-changing idea for the nonprofit sector.

A colleague asked me for my thoughts on trends in social media today. I can sum it up in one word: convergence.
