Andy Carvin of NPR on Social Good Podcast
Posted by Allison Fine on March 6, 2009
The latest installment of the Social Good Podcast is up on the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s site.
Andy Carvin, the social media mavin of NPR, is my guest. We talk about how he is helping NPR, and the reporters, use social media to share content and engage various communities in discussions of issues and contributions to content development.
Andy’s advice to smaller nonprofits is to stay nimble and keep innovating and experimenting. Don’t worry about failing, he said, just keep learning.
He’s currently in search of a good volunteer management software solution for a Web 2.0 environment. I found this run down of applications put together by Jayne Cravens. I know folks have used CiviCRM, but wondering if others have thoughts about any of these applications.

CiviCRM can be customized and used for volunteer management today (with some configuration and potential custom search code). However it would be great for the community and the team to come up with a dedicated CiviVolunteer module which does 80% of what most folks needs. If anyone is interested in helping out and taking a lead, please start a specification on our wiki http://wiki.civicrm.org/
