I am a huge fan of all things shared-knowledge. I get excited, dive right in, and always feel like I learn so much regardless of how much I'm able to contribute (though I try to always put in all that I can). I hope, and believe, that many of you are the same way and thought I would make sure you all know about two awesome ways for sharing peer-to-peer knowledge, especially with peers you didn't know you had!
Net Squared Community Blog: Net Squared "enables social benefit organizations to leverage the tools of the social web." This is a great place to hear about what other organizations are doing, regardless of where they may be on the adoption timeline for different new media tools. I love the varied topics and people that post here, keeping me exposed to all sorts of fields. It is a community blog, so feel free to set up your free account with Net Squared and post to the blog as well!
NTEN Affinity Groups: NTEN is a membership organization of nonprofit technology professionals that "aspires to a world where all nonprofit organizations skillfully and confidently use technology to meet community needs and fulfill their missions." You don't have to be a member to join the affinity groups, though! There are many different topic areas covered and it's a terrific way to find resources and contacts that can help answer questions or provide advice, especially for areas where you previously didn't know quite who to ask. Check out the lists and join groups that match your interests!
Where do you find peer-to-peer help when you have a question or need advice? Do you prefer on or offline help; people you know already or people you may know via a network (like Net Squared or NTEN)?
