Whoa. I just noticed it’s been eight months since our Social Media Managers interview series ended. Since then: - a lot more associations have started staffing their social media efforts, based on the totally unscientific evidence of what I’ve seen in my travels, plus the fact that we get asked for help on the question on a weekly – and growing – basis). - we’ve added a Social Media Mavens group to YAP, for anyone doing the work of social media for their orgs.

Jeremiah Owyang has a good post up titled How to tell if your Company is Advanced: 10 Criteria Of Social Business Maturity. Please read it for all the specific explanation of these ten criteria, but the super abridged version is this: 1. Clear understanding of customers’ socialgraphics. 2. Your organization is in Hub and Spoke, Dandelion, or Holistic formation.

Yay! Another fabulous comment/question posted on the Mojo post just yesterday (told you I was still getting comments!). Can you help Jennifer? …What really prompted me to post though is a question I have about what exactly you (and others who have thoughts) are looking for in educational sessions. As someone who is not a vendor and has done presentations (contributed through the ASAE Committee process) at several ASAE annual meetings, including ASAE10, I would love to get input on speci

I honestly am not trying to be self-serving by rehashing a post from my own blog, but I was shocked how much traction my post about Foursquare Fatigue got over the weekend and had some additional thoughts as a result of all the comments and tweets. I wrote how my enthusiasm for Foursquare has definitely waned, and wondered if anyone else was thinking Foursquare may have jumped the shark.

We LOVE the new ASAE website !! Such a huge improvement, not least because their active community has been brought to the forefront. So I thought I’d talk to Amy Hissrich, Director of Knowledge Initiatives at ASAE, and mastermind behind the redesign, and ask her to give us a little “behind the scenes&# glimpse into the thinking that went into creating the new site.

Joe Gerstandt recently posted a mini-rant about “disempowerment&# and it’s so good I’m quoting the entire thing here. Empowerment? Maybe you could start by just getting out of the way? I have just read yet another piece about “empowerment” and I am throwing the bullshit flag. Enough. You know who can empower me? I can. You know what you can do?

I’ve really been resonating with Shelly Alcorn’s last post in which she declared that she is “so over leadership.” I know what she’s talking about. Even though I LOVE leadership books, I seem to be hitting a wall lately, looking at yet another leadership model, and yet another keynote speech, generating yet another large set of nodding heads—but without a whole lot changing.

Last Tuesday’s Association Chat was on the thorny topic of diversity, following on from issues raised after #ASAE10 and our Sweetspot webcast from last week with DELP scholar Stefanie Reeves. An awesome thought leader on diversity and inclusion, Joe Gerstandt , joined the chat (as did Jamie Notter, who has a diversity background) and we had a really thought-provoking discussion.

Holly Ross, Exceutive Director of NTEN, just left me this comment / question on my recent Mojo post (yes I am still getting comments – holy smokes!). One question regarding general session speakers. I’ve been thinking for the last couple of years about their purpose, and if we need them at all. When you’re pressed for time at an event, I wonder if people would welcome or be better served by skipping the keynote for more networking or session opportunities.

Just wanted to quickly point to a couple of recent studies you might be interested in. First, Beth Kanter points to a Foundation Center study on Social Media Use By Foundation Leaders : “The report outlines which social media services are used regularly or occasionally by foundation leaders, which blogs are read by CEOs and how often, the perceived usefulness of Web 2.0 in philanthropic work, and highlights the social media activity of two “power users” in the field.&# Interesting stuff!
