Social Media Is Bull&%@#?
"Social media is bull&%@#," Roger Craver asserted during his keynote presentation at FundRaising Success' Engage Conference held in Philadelphia on May 9.
Roger has been called a "bomb thrower" for his work in the political arena. He certainly got the attention of the conference participants.
While his comment generated lots of conversation and a few friendly barbs later in the day, it does resonate. Many nonprofits expend a lot of resources to be active in social media. Some volunteers, staff and even donors tell their organizations that they just have to be in the arena.
