Webinar: 12 Common Mistakes Nonprofits Make in Social Media

Myself, together with more than 600(!) people around the globe attended Heather Manfield's free webinar 12 Common Mistakes Nonprofits Make in Social Media. Lots of useful stuff, explained with passion and well illustrated on-the-spot.

Comment by Lize De Clercq on June 11, 2012 at 2:59pm: Aha, that's why! I already noticed the share option on software generated links went away on Facebook... Thanks for this clarification!

Rather, they are equal. But, what Facebook did is, turn off the share option on software generated links. So, they get less virality than web-based shares.

Comment by Lize De Clercq on June 8, 2012 at 2:22am: This is a crosspost of the article originally posted on telecentre-europe's community site- watch the comments there. I'm also curious to know about people's experiences here. How common are those mistakes in fact?
