Donations Through Facebook? I’d Think Twice About That

12.17.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Big news yesterday: Facebook announced their new Donate feature. You know, because Facebook cares tons about nonprofits, right? Historically, Facebook hasn’t given a crap about nonprofits. I’ve been managing Facebook pages for associations and nonprofits for over five years now and I can tell you that Facebook could not care less about helping nonprofits. Are […]

Three Things You Need to Know About Facebook Privacy

12.15.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you’ve read this blog for a while, you know I used to be kind of obsessed with Facebook’s privacy fails. I frequently wrote posts detailing every one of Facebook’s “oops” pretend privacy slips (sorry for all the links–I’ll digress but I’m not exaggerating when I say I was obsessed). Then, just as Facebook wanted […]

Three Things Associations Can Be Doing with Pinterest

12.09.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

If you read this blog (or follow me on Pinterest), you know I’m obsessed with Pinterest. OBSESSED. It’s my equivalent of paging through a billion different magazines, cookbooks (which I never actually do) and idea boards, and being able to save everything that attracts my eye for possible future reference. I use it as my […]

Will I See You This Week?

12.01.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I can’t believe it’s already December! I’ve barely recovered from the overlappingThanksgiving+Hannukah, have to start thinking about Christmas decorating and shopping I guess and am scrambling to get ready for two conferences this week. I’m tired already! Tuesday I’ll be presenting at the HUG Super Forum with Jay Daughtry on “How to Engage Like the Big Boys.” […]

Forget Scroogled, How about SharePointed?

11.27.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I admit when I saw Microsoft’s “Scroogled” store, I thought it was kind of funny. But their new Scroogled campaign against the Chromebook? Just no. As I’ve blogged before, I love my Chromebook. It’s tiny (if a bit too tiny for aging eyes…sigh), it’s light, it’s cheap, and it can do 99% of what I […]

Introducing Chic n’ Geek

11.17.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I am trying to be better about unplugging when I’m not at work, both because my aging eyes are killing lately and also because I know it’s good for me. So what did I do this weekend? Decide I needed to start a new blog, complete with learning how to install and set up a […]

The Chicken and Egg Problem of Nonprofit Social Media Measurement

11.08.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

My new job is forcing me to confront my arithmophobia/dyscalculia (I’m not sure which it actually is–basically any kind of numbers or math freaks me out) as well as my loathing of Excel and I admit it’s almost pleasurable. Maybe I’ve been too hasty totally dismissing numbers from my life for so long. I’m reading […]

Pins of the Week: Google Analytics Help, Olivia Pope Style…and a Cocktail

10.24.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

I don’t know if you’ve missed pins of the week, but I have. Before I get to my favorite pins, though, some news you’ll want to pay attention to if you run contests on Pinterest. Today Pinterest posted a clarification to its “acceptable use guidelines” to spell out what’s ok and not ok when it […]

Teens Aren’t the Only Bullies

10.17.2013 by Maggie McGary // Leave a Comment

Another week, another heartbreaking story about a teen who took her life because of bullying. I read this stuff and honestly don’t know what to think. How is the world so broken that it’s considered fine for a 14 year-old girl to post on Facebook “’Yes, I bullied Rebecca and she killed herself but I […]
