…you should at least be learning about using Twitter for your nonprofit.

Check out the volume of tweets during the Inauguration:

To learn more:

• Read the other posts I’ve written on Twitter for nonprofits
• Check out the Twitter webinar coming up on January 30.
• Sign up for a free Twitter account
• Start following people! You can follow me at twitter.com/marcapitman.

Twitter probably won’t totally revolutionize your nonprofit fundraising, the basics still apply. But in an economy like ours, we all need to be learning more about social media tools like Twitter!
