Tagging Missions of Organizations

I started researching organizations to help me with my job search and I have been looking at the missions of these various organizations. Even though I am looking for a technology related position, I decided I would first focus on organizations whose missions interest me. I am interested in organizations related to education, environment, and health.

Through my research and the recent posts about the use of Flickr for nonprofits, I have realized the nptech tag can be used in other ways. Learning about tagging is not just a skill for techies, it is a skill for anyone.

More uses of nptech

• bookmark blogs of non-profit organizations
• bookmark blogs or blog entires about an issue
• take pictures at non-profit related events and tag them on Flickr
• write a blog entry about an issue and tag it using tags on Technorati

How can non-profit organizations use tags?

• Tag images, bookmarks, and blog entries to share with others who might be interested in the mission of your organization.
• Look at the users of the tags and see who else is interested in the mission of your organization
• Find images on Flickr related to the mission of your organization. Images found on the Creative Commons section can be used for websites, newsletters, or blog entries.
• Find bookmarks on Del.icio.us to help with researching about the mission of your organization.
• Find blog entries on Technorati related to the mission of your organization.
  

Tags (missions, events, organizations)

• conservation
• ecology
• pollution
• raceforthecure

I will be adding to this list as I find more tags.
