Sites such as MySpace and FaceBook could be a nonprofit's dream market - millions of users engaging in activities and all interconnected.
But just setting up shop and collecting "friends" will not necessarily result in donors and supporters. Sarah DiJulio and Marc Ruben co-authored a chapter in the book, People to People Fundraising: Social Networking and Web 2.0 for Charities,, (Wiley). They provide information from a guide to the "lingo" of social sites, to an approach to planning your entry into social networking.
Editors Note: About.com material from People to People Fundraising to help you get started with social networking.
