Nonprofits get on Google Wave
Nonprofit Organizations on Google Wave
Get on the nonprofit google wave! Google has recently released more invites to Wave and companies and nonprofits alike are learning how to use the product to increase productivity. If you are fortunate enough to have a google wave account make sure to follow the instructions in this post to share ways we can better use the service.
First step for nonprofits on Google Wave:
1) If you are already on Google Wave, you can add me to your contacts by searching for nonprofitorgs@googlewave.com. Just like on Twitter, I’ll be functioning as a portal to nonprofits on Google Wave.
2) If you are not on Google Wave, it will be available to the masses worldwide early next year. In the meantime, grab your organization’s username at Gmail.
3) If you are nonprofit that has been using a Gmail account for a long time with an extensive contact list, it may turn out that you’ll want to use that account for your primary presence on Google Wave. I don’t think we will know that for sure until Google Wave goes live to the masses. But it wouldn’t hurt to grab a Gmail username that matches your Web site just in case. It also may turn out that staff with lots of Gmail contacts will participate on the Wave a “collaborators” and as themselves. Still, it doesn’t hurt to grab your Gmail username if it is still available.
One idea floating around is using Google Wave for conference chatter
If your nonprofit is planning a conference or large meeting, you might want to think about using Google Wave instead of Twitter to add an additional layer of interaction.
While Twitter is great for collecting the mood of groups and sharing quick hits of information, Google Wave allows you to create a structured conversation with multimedia and allows conversations to happen on the fly.
