Recently one of our directors attended a seminar where they discussed using social network sites to increase awarness to the public of your services. We put together something on Facebook, but I was wondering if anyone else had any experience or results from using Facebook. I do plan on checking out the Barnraiser.net and Ning.

We're going with that because we are an NGO as well.

It could be used as a way to quickly add feature sets to your core set of web-based communications tools. On the other hand, Ning is around too. www.ning.com is also a good way of doing the same thing. Barnraiser was updated fairly recently but I haven’t checked it out.

It lets you (or your members) create their own web sites. In them they get social tools like blogs and forums that they can lay out in their own multi-page web site. Oxfam use it and i'm sure others will follow soon. Barnraisers software is fantastic! It lets you (or your members) create their own web sites.

They are somewhat of a MySpace for nonprofits. The site is free and comes with a lot of features like Blog, IM, Chat, Forums, document sharing, video sharing, private groups & group linking, jobs database, event calendar, funds collections (event fees, donation, membership fees), and some other stuff. They also license and private brand for organizations that want to have their own private copy of the site.
