Its Nearly Wordless Wednesday, a new commitment for me reserving this day of the week for the rest of the year to share an image and a few words to provide context. What better way to begin than this new and amazing view of the earth from space, released by NASA.

This post is a bit more personal than most but I could use your help.  Its a brand new year and I'm once again choosing three words as my guide for the new year.  I don't usually share my choices but it feels like a good thing to do to hold myself accountable and I'd like to hear some of your ways of working on these things?  Here goes. My three words for 2012:

Some years ago colleagues at the Central CAPT introduced me to NTEN, the Nonprofit Technology Network which is where I discovered Amy Sample Ward. She posted an interesting article awhile back in the Stanford Social Innovations Review (and on her blog) focused on ways non-profits can build trust including ways to do this using social media.  While provider networks and coalitions may or may </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/otoo/~3/k6N_q79MwjE/building-trust-and-capacity.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (LaDonna Coy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ptAwFEm7JXY/TvIxzxII3UI/AAAAAAAABt0/L2kho69p8-o/s72-c/appetizer.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>1</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;

Blah, blah, blah, blah blah.

All too often that's the sound of social media PUSH.  You've seen it. Me too. You may be guilty of it too, I am. It is easier to get focused on developing and sharing your own prevention messages than it is to publicly engage people around those messages.  Why is that?

Two primary reasons from my perspective.

Not long ago I did a blog post on designing for interaction.  As I've thought more about it seems there's even more to learn about engaging people in social media.  They say the teacher teaches what she should learn so this is really good for me. I hope you find it helpful too and will add your learnings as well. Here goes.

Social Media is not so much about the technology as it is about people and participation - about attracting interested people into prevention conversations rather than just marketing or broadcasting to them.

How often have you heard this expression, preaching to the choir, when attending meetings, community events and conferences?  I hear it a lot and I'm finding that the same dynamic is true of engaging online with social media. Why?

As you all know I am a huge proponent of visuals to communicate and sometimes I get so focused on the visuals that I forget about the power of words. I suppose we are all busy making ends meet, raising families and well, whatever it is that we do for a living, that we forget to do the simple acts of noticing, pausing, contributing, writing, and having conversations, however brief, about ideas </atom:summary><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/otoo/~3/gjYhieErBrE/power-of-words.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (LaDonna Coy)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/Hzgzim5m7oU/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><description>&lt;div class="feedflare"&gt;
