Haiti and social media

Only in the world of blogging can you give a link to a blog that provides a link to another article.

But the people involved and the subject matter are important and timely.

He’s a link to my pal Shonali Burke’s blog, to Geoff Livingston’s article for Mashable.com on the five social media lessons to be learned from the Haiti relief effort.

Both Shonali and Geoff are leaders and passionate about social media and non-profits.     Shonali is the president of IABC/Washington, a social media measurement freak (in a good way) and all around wonderful person and Geoff recently moved on from CRT-Tanaka to found Zoetica to focus on causes and non-profits.  Among the Richmond-related work he has consulted on is the recent social media campaign for ChildFund International.

Some great points by both in the article and comments and definitely worth sharing.
