Katya Andresen (Network for Good), Jocelyn Harmon (Care2) and I gave a session at the 2011 Bridge Conference about online communications etiquette today. Key takeaways: sometimes we forget the basics still apply- and are amplified- online.
Since the majority of our communications are happening online these days (via email, websites, twitter, facebook, etc), why are so many people so reactive and mindless about how they use these tools? I've been pondering this question for awhile and enlisted my pals Katya Andresen from Network for Good and Jocelyn Harmon from Care2 to try and figure it out.
Who doesn't love online surveys? I sure do. Tools like Survey Gizmo (www.surveygizmo.com) and Survey Monkey (www.surveymonkey.com) make it easy, cheap, and downright fun to gather information that would have been a total pain to gather years ago. And once your members, clients, donors (etc) have completed it, you can slice and dice the data to compare responses, quantify, and make some pretty fancy pie charts. (Oh, data! How I love thee!)
