There are some really wonderful nonprofits out there that work to develop water resources in places where water is scarce. But what about when there is water all around but none that’s safe to drink? This is what’s happening in Southeast Asian countries. Sure there’s water but it’s not safe water. Top that with limited funds and resources for filtering systems or water purification plants and you’ve got a lot of sick families.

I was on a panel today at CFP entitled “ Privacy, Activism, & Social Networking: Protecting Privacy While Running a Media Campaign in 140 Characters or Less &# with Tamar Gubins, Deborah Pierce, David Roth and Danny O’Brien and I’ve been going round and round in my head about my own position on privacy online and looking at social media from the viewpoint of an activist who may have a deeper need for personal privacy for safety reasons.

What it takes to be a success in social media is the ability to be fluid and organic in your approach. To move quickly and decisively as new issues develop, evaluate new tools and networks for their usefulness, usability and appropriateness. To interact with your users and community and listen to what their needs and desires are. You need to be able to evaluate opportunities quickly since things come and go in a flash in this environment.
