We are still buzzing around here from our latest Communicating in the Age of New Media event earlier this month, mostly because of the feedback we continue to receive from you!
The calls for additional conversations and focus on new specific media tools have risen to the top of the pile. The first response I have is to remind people of the new media office hours I hold online every Monday and Wednesday. I sign on to chat with the screen name: MMTNewMedia. You can add me to your AOL/AIM, Adium, GoogleChat, etc. buddy lists and we can talk about questions you may have or ideas you want to bounce around.
If you are unfamiliar with online conversations (usually called, instant messaging), you can read more about it from AOL and Wikipedia.
These accounts are free and quick to set up. If all else fails and you have already tried asking others in your office for help setting up instant messaging, you can leave a comment here or email me at amy @ mmt.org and I can help you get it set up!
I'd love to hear from you on Mondays and Wednesdays between 8:30 - 4:30! You can also pose your questions on the events' wiki!
Hi Larry-
Thanks for your comment. Have you checked out the resources that I have covered previously on the new media blog, especially our wiki? Did you attend any of our Communicating in the Age of New Media for Nonprofits events throughout 2007? The office hours are to facilitate real time question and answer for nonprofits that have a specific new media technology question. The blog is a way for me to start conversations either on the blog, or in nonprofits' offices about new tools, news, and opportunities. The wiki is a collaborative space we set up primarily for the Communicating in the Age of New Media events but is open to read, edit, and add to by others.
I hope this helps clear up some of our inquiry. Please let me know if there is other information I can provide, questions I can answer, or tools I can direct you to.
I am just curious about what kinds of discussion occur in this electronic community of grant funders, seekers, and grantees. I direct a local community "heritage center" which incorporates features of a museum, playhouse, gallery, meeting place, church--all within about 1500 square feet. How could I benefit from this?
