This tweet from Patty Campbell caught my eye. After reading a list of corporate social media strategists and community mangers compiled by Jeremiah Owyang, she wondered if there was a nonprofit list?
Yes, there is! Over at the WeAreMedia Wiki, we have a "Expertise Map" where people self-selected to add their names and in a number of cases share their expertise by contributing to the wiki. This list is evolving and has grown overtime and is not curated. It includes a lot of consultants, bloggers, and service organizations.
I'd like to see a list of people who work as social media strategists as part of their job at a nonprofit or a community manager. I'd like to see the list organized by different segments. So, I've set up a google form on the WeAreMedia Wiki where you can add your name to the list and see the whole list.
Spread the word #wearemedia.
I thought the same thing when I would read Jeremiah's post every month--so I, too, was inspired to create my own list on my blog. Jeremiah was kind enough to link to my list from his post and I've gotten some great responses.
Here's the link to my list; I'm going to add a link to the WeAReMedia wiki list.

very interesting topic indeed. since i still prefer to do my reading in the physical form, i've spent quite some time researching books about social media pr and marketing. i've come across the same phenomenon - tons of resources on how to use social media for business purposes, almost none specifically for an ngo/npo environment.
so if anyone knows of a really good, hands-on resource on how to make the most of what the web has to offer for a non-profit organization (i'm thinking along the lines of "The New Community Rules" and "Putting the Public back in Public Relations"), your recommendations would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
