# 10 Ways Non-Profits Can Use Blogs

Over at NetSquared Britt Bravo has a great article listing [10 ways non-profits can use blogs](http://www.netsquared.org/blog/britt-bravo/10-ways-nonprofits-can-use-blogs).

The common point of all 10 items on the list at once indicate a blog’s role as a clearing-house and collection-point for information among the various constituents involved in a non-profit. This is a great way of seeing a blog, but this strategy is certainly not limited to blog websites. An effective website, regardless of whether it includes a blog-type structure, offers a great opportunity to non-profits that need two-way communication with the world. And really, isn’t that all non-profits?

The article does a good job of orienting the strengths of blogging to the non-profit sector, and using the right language to describe the phenomena. I recommend it as a primer for those new to blogging and a refresher for those familiar with social software.

If you’re interested in learning more about how non-profits can use blogs to connect in the networked world, you’ll want to check out (http://www.socialsignal.com/hollyhock), a strategic blogging workshop coming May 17-21 to the (http://www.hollyhock.ca/home.html) on beautiful Cortes Island. Local Vancouver blogger Rob Cottingham (http://www.robcottingham.ca/20060330/strategic-blogging-workshop-at-hollyhock-may-17-21/) as his company, (http://www.socialsignal.com/), is presenting it.

I think I’m going to be in Toronto the days before (May 15 and 16) at the (http://www.meshconference.com), but if I was available I’d have loved to participate in Work Power.
