There is indeed a steep learning curve, but I feel the reason that non profits have done well in SL is due to the community aspect. My only request would be to keep on eye on this space (not just SL, virtual worlds at large) as we have only seen the tip of the iceberg.

I wonder how much care and feeding it takes to get an ROI? What has been your experience? Do you think the choice of myspace might also be directed by the audience segment you want to reach? Just musing out outloud ... admittedly I haven't yet dived deep into myspace - only just doing a five minutes a day dairy ...

More time developing their email lists, MySpace pages or new videos instead of worrying about SL. Sometimes we start getting excited about technology before we start thinking about whether its a good use of our time or not. SL could be fun for individuals, but I don't see it as worthy of nonprofit resources at this point. Hi Beth,

I picked MySpace because it's relatively easy for a nonprofit to get up and running. Many other options (blogs, videos, podcasts) are very hard to get going and MySpace is potentially the easiest. Plus, it allows you to enter the web 2.0 world with relative ease and then you can branch out to other sites from there. Hey Beth,

I have a piece that I remixed from Marnie Webb called "Ten Steps Towards Web2.0 for Nonprofits" You can find here: http://ncna.wikispaces.com/ - it is filled with links and pointers for an organization asking that question to become more educated about the choices. tim,

My first reaction was similar to yours. The problem is that SL requires a steep learning curve and some immersion before you see or appreciate the benefits. The best experience is participating in online learning events and having the networking opportunities. My best experience was attending an event and having a great conversation with Jimmy Wales - I'd probably never be able to do that in Real LIfe. For people doing work in online learning, particularly where it requires simulation - it is useful. With that said, I don't think it is for all nonprofits only those that work on cutting edge, online learning, or want to do some networking. I've written alot about the good, bad, and the ugly with Nonprofits and Second Life - http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/npsl/index.html OMG, there has been so much debate about this over the past year.

If you were to give advice to a web 1.0 np about advancing into the 2.0 world, what would you pick as the starting point? blogs, videos, rss, tags ... Or should they just start on their e-Newsletters and use social networking to "create their community." Am excited about the tools but don't know where to start. tim,
