Blogging about charity blogs more popular than actual charity blogs
11th March 2006, 4:04 pm
An American collaboration site (wiki) on PR matters has established a section on ‘Non-Profit Blogging, Podcasting and Social Media’. I’ll try to keep an eye on any interesting developments relevant outside the States, but I do have to agree with them that “for now, it is easier to find sites writing ‘about’ nonprofit activities than actual blogs ‘by’ nonprofit organizations.”

Hi,
For my EMMA (Masters of Arts in European Media) project I’m setting up a site that tries give every charity a platform.
Simply said a decentralized charity website like wikipedia. Maybe you can give me some advice as an expert on this matter. I’m an interaction designer with not all that much knowledge of charities. Any other help is welcome
Check my progress at makingthesite.com and feel free to leave a comment.
With kind regards,

There seem to be a number in the drug field ours amongst them.

Thanks for the comments. Andrew - I’d love to hear about any other charity blogs in the drug field. (Perhaps I ought to have added that charity blogs found to date are listed on OpenCharityBlog.)
Also there’s nothing on your blog to show if its connected to an organisation - perhaps there are more out there which are blogs from charities but aren’t easily identified as such.

Hi Admin, there are blogs by DrugScope as does Re-Solve.
The Drug Education Forum’s blog has got links to all our members (or at least those with websites) and to our own website.
Hope that helps.

There’s increasing use in the VCS/social enterprise crossovers as well (those focusing on individual social entrepreneurs)….our blog is new (http://socialentrepreneurs.typepad.com or just http://www.sse.org.uk/blogs), if extremely interesting ;0)… and we’ll be giving our students the opportunity to use blogs (as mini-websites, learning diaries, personal journals, private or public) over the coming weeks and months.

Good to see SSE joining in the blogging, even if it looks like my blog list reading is getting ‘non-trivial’. I’ll add it to the Links - Blogs at Work on this site.
