News on The Edge This week on Social Edge, Beth Kanter, a leading consultant to nonprofits in the area of effective technology use, helps you understand how you can leverage new Web 2.0 tools like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter to build relationships online. She writes: “Professional networking is an indispensable skill for social entrepreneurs and using online social networks can quickly help you reach your networking goals.” But these networks are just tools, and the secret sauce is relationship building. Find out her secret recipe now! An ideal place to network is the Clinton Global Initiative, which is happening this week in New York. Our blogger Dave Johnson is there for you. Check out his up-to-the-minute report. Our other bloggers are also travelling and moving on to great things: Alyson Zureick, who was in Sierra Leone for a year, is now back in the US, while Sagar Gubbi, our man in Bangalore, is on his way to Oxford to get his MBA. Bon voyage, Alyson and Sagar! Other news from our bloggers: Mathias Craig (blueEnergy) just attended the Global Social Benefit Incubator, and Sam Goldman is still “hiring like mad” as d-light design is growing by leaps and bounds. Our impact experts, Sara Olsen and Brett Galimidi, recently covered the critical nature of reporting in context and of meaningful measurement and now address the third pillar: relative scale. Finally, check the new Tactics of Hope blog, a practical source of information from case studies of individual social entrepreneurs showing how they are reaching their ambitious goals.
