Comments on: Why your nonprofit should check out Google Buzz http://www.socialbrite.org/2010/02/18/why-your-nonprofit-should-check-out-google-buzz/ Social tools for social change Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:43:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Debra Askanase http://www.socialbrite.org/2010/02/18/why-your-nonprofit-should-check-out-google-buzz/comment-page-1/#comment-3127 Debra Askanase Thu, 25 Feb 2010 10:51:05 +0000 http://www.socialbrite.org/?p=4906#comment-3127 Thanks for the tip about adding the Buzz plug-in to a WP blog - I'm interested in how my readers will use the icon, so I took the challenge and added it to my own WP blog. I recently checked out ReadWriteWeb's buzz profile and use - they are using it to ask great questions of their readership, and now of course will look at how NWF is using it - always looking to the early adopters for interesting uses. I would think that buzz has huge potential for inclusive program planning, strategic planning,etc. It's great to see nonprofits starting to use it now, though!

It's fairly straight forward once you set up Buzz. Check out the video and howto I mentioned in the post.

I hope that once we have a pretty active community we could share tips, comment and have it be a little more real time than Facebook, but a little more in depth than twitter. <a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/NWF.friends" target="_blank">http://www.google.com/profiles/NWF.friends</a> - at some point I'd like to help our members pick plants to plant or ID wildlife! We'll see what happens :) I'm experimenting using it w/ NWF.

What does an organization profile look like? Since it has to be linked to a Gmail address and a Google profile, how would you set one up for Socialbrite? Have you set one up for Socialbrite? Are there nonprofits you can find that are doing a good job using Buzz, in a way that makes sense for their workflow and their supporters? It's not clear to me how an organization uses Buzz.
