NFPtweetup first birthday Steve Bridger's Twitterstream
1. What makes a good
Twitter stream?
*Hastily* prepared by @stevebridger on 12 November 2009
2. What I’m looking for from a charity’s presence on
What is the overall experience of ‘following’?
The tone: is there a balance bet ween ‘blowing your own
trumpet’ and amplifying the voice of others?
Does it embrace the values of the web: transparency,
collaboration & participation?
Does it seek to build community?
Is there a quick response to questions & is there reciprocity?
How is it integrated with the charity’s overall online
footprint... and does it mesh well with offline activity?
11. Shower praise on your advocates
Focus on one-to-one, highly personal approaches

16. Some Takeaways...
marketers role changing from broadcaster to aggregator
- e.g. conversations around your appeals
respond as quickly as possible & show reciprocity
multiple ‘light touches’ (is this the future of digital
marketing?)
don’t make Twitter another silo - make resources go
further by encouraging staff to embrace & develop their
personal brands
think about how your programmes & communications can
be articulated through others’ net works to deliver on your
mission
make the experience better when shared
