Collaborative Annotation of the Web: Nonprofit Applications?
There's a new way you can communicate with your team, constituents, or professional community about any content you find on the web. Reframeit is a browser extension that allows you to annotate almost any content you find on the web, and engage your network in a discussion about it.
ZDNet wrote up a great overview of the tool and its applications, and ReadWriteWeb also gave it a brief review. I think Reframeit opens a lot of possibilities for advocacy and service groups -- and definitely for educational institutions.
I'd love to hear comments about how you think you could use something like this in your work.
We Are Media Toolbox: The Buzz Begins Next Week
You've seen the tweets. You want the shirt. Now's your chance!
Keep your eyes peeled next week, because all month long, we're going to "fondle the hammer!" We'll be talking about social media tools just for the sake of how cool they are. (Because let's face it, they are wicked fun.)
Every day, we'll ask you to share the tools you use to listen, share, and build community. All we need you to do is tell us what tools you use, and why you love them.
You'll get two great rewards:
- First, you'll get the satisfaction of helping to build a curriculum that will help other nonprofits learn how to use social media effectively.
- AND, you'll get the shirt. (You know you want one!)
