My name is Beth Bates and I love social media, Web 2.0, new media, social networking or whatever the kids are calling it this week. With a background in web technology and a passion for helping animals, one day I had an epiphany. I decided that to uncover the secret formula for leveraging the mysteries of community web tools with humanitarian causes. Once I started digging through the myriad of interactive tools, widgets and services, I realized that there were a myriad of great, easily adaptable tools that non-profits could implement. But then what? Without a clear road map for effectively using these tools, well-meaning web lovers are left with a lot of fun stuff, but no real substance; no strategy for success. I launched my first “Diablo” RPG guild website in 1995 and haven’t looked back! In 1998 I started Web Strategies Internet Solutions LLC and began a long and exciting career in technical project management. Although my background is in technical web development for educational associations and non-profits, I have also managed large-scale projects for corporations and government agencies in the metro DC area.
