Erin Caldwell’s PRblog

I’ve been meaning to write about this for a while. At the beginning of this month, Robert French started a new initiative called “Operation Link Love.” He explains it at his own blog as:

A list in the NewPR/Wiki. Operation Link Love

Visit the wiki and you may:

• add links to non-profit blogging and social media examples you know of online
• use these links to visit the sites
• comment on their sites with either support or constructive criticism/advice on how to improve their practices
• write a post about their efforts in your own blogs, or include them in a podcast, and discuss the value of social media for non-profits
• add the links to your blogroll in a special non-profit/charitable social media, or blogging, category to provide support and heighten awareness of these sites
• bookmark these sites in the popular social media sites with “OperationLinkLove” and/or “nonprofitblogs” to help further spread the meme of non-profit social media efforts. Examples of those sites are: Bloglines, Technorati, del.icio.us, furl, digg, spurl, wists, simpy, newsvine, blinklist, reddit, fark, blogmarks and Yahoo’s myweb2 search

Visit The NewPR/Wiki’s Non-Profit Blogging, Podcasting and Social Media list and participate.

So of course — I’ll link and point you to Camp ASCCA! Robert’s enthusiasm for supporting non-profits is boundless, and a lot of his energy goes toward giving Camp ASCCA one of the most extensive and thorough web presences that you’ll find for a non-profit group. Be sure to visit its blog, the Camp Journal, which is what a lot of my work for camp centers on.

I encourage you to look around Camp ASCCA’s site, and also explore the details of Operation Link Love at The NewPR/Wiki.

I should mention, all this started with a post by Tom Murphy. So thanks to him for getting the ball rolling, and to Robert French for picking it up and following through.
