How Gen Y and Nonprofits can Benefit from a Bad Economy

Much of the discussion surrounding the impact of the weak financial market on nonprofits focuses on donations. While corporations are responsible for only about 10% of the funds received by nonprofits, the relationship extends beyond money to time (board members and volunteers) and resources (space and advertising) that are very useful to any nonprofit that receives them.

It's going to take a huge culture change to get nonprofits to use talents effectively. I am ready to bolt the sector right now after spending a year beating my head against a wall while my employer tries to close a huge deficit with literal bake sales and is "afraid" to use the internet.

5 Ways to Not Be a Complete SAP on Social Media

Kyle Lacy

Where do you draw the line as a person and as a brand? I think the issue I am having with so much irrelevant content is that… it is not new… it is not fun… if I wanted an ego boost I would turn on Joel Osteen or Tony Robbins. And most of all… it is not real.

The Grim Specter of Aging Gracefully

Mehnaz Thawer

Terribly enough, we live in a society that is full of images where young means all kinds of good things. And old pretty much is akin to being some kind of discard. The lost and faded beauty of a once seductive woman who has nothing to offer the world but a set of crowsfeet when she smiles.

The answer, as is the answer for most things in life, is "It depends."

It’s Just Not Personal Branding Without Your Own Domain

Becky Leung

There has been a great deal written about how to engage with social media to establish a name for yourself online, but a commonly overlooked piece of the puzzle is also one of the simplest: owning your own domain name. A domain name complements the rest of your online presence through branding using yourname.com or a similar variation.
