Non-profits and small businesses both can benefit from using these tools. The challenge is that it can be very overwhelming. You showing the progression in how to integrate these tools is very helpful. Great post. Non-profits and small businesses both can benefit from using these tools.

I feel strongly that nonprofits are better positioned than anyone to use social media to their benefit. They have a ready-made support base and will always get a receptive audience, unlike most for-profits. I'd also note that the new Facebook redesign does a lot to help nonprofits that are using it. It's a lot easier to see new photos, videos and other updates by nonprofits you're linked to. I think that'll do a lot to keep people involved instead of donating once and moving on. Gary, nice post.
