Doesn’t anyone want to give away $1,000?

It’s kind of odd. We may have hit the first unsuccessful initiative on ChangeEverything.ca.

About a month ago we launched the ChangeSomething contest, in which we asked the community to blog about an organization worthy of awarding $1,000 to, and why. Since then we’ve had all of two responses.

So I ask my readers: Is there an organizations that could use $1,000 (CDN)? A place you give to, or volunteer at, or send your kids to, or buy chocolates from, or know a friend who works at, or have a family member who’s benefited from?

We’re just giving the money away and all you have to do is write one blog post. You have until September 14th – you’ll feel better if you do.

UPDATE: Even though I am ineligible for this contest, I just submitted an organization that helps those in need build assets. It’s called Future Foundations, and I blogged about them here.

Final part of trilogy now on NetBanker.

The third and final installment of my three part article on success factors of social media projects is now live on NetBanker.

The Importance of Community Management in Social Media Projects examines the crucial role of the moderator in ensuring the success of social media projects, including efforts by Vancity, Verity and Wells Fargo.

The first part was titled Key Success Factors for Social Media Projects, and the second part was Measuring Success for Social Media Projects.
