What a Non-Profit Communication Control Panel Can Look Like

In less than four hours I was able to take the majority of all Humboldt Watershed Council’s data & online tools and put them into a single interface, which is provided for free from http://NetVibes.com

The primary motivation for creating this interface is to get members of Board of Directors to actively particpate in the creation of website content. The website: http://voicesofhumboldtcounty.com was created by me last April. The goal was to get a dozen watershed activists to actively post content. That hasn’t worked out yet… Perhaps this new NetVibes interface will work better?

The interface consists of four tabs. The first tab is titled: Data & Communication

This tab consists of 1) A to-do list 2) A data library of relevent content that’s been gathered up, but not yet published, 3) A view of our most recent emails / link to our email account. 4) Our Facebook feed, as well as a window to post directly to Facebook, 5) Our Twitter feed, as well as a window to post directly to Twitter.

The Second Tab is called: Humboldt Voices

This Tab consists of the 1) North Coast Journal’s Blog monitoring blog known as Blogthing, 2) The Local Radio Station KMUD, 3) The local Newspaper, 4) Out of View of the image are other local enviro-oriented blogs, 5) As well as our flagship blog: http://voicesofhumboldtcounty.com

The Third tab is called: California Voices, which is a collection of enviro-oriented websites throughout the state. This is the tab that soon will have the most content, as well an HWC-oriented California-wide organizing campaign called “Voices of California.”

Finally the Fourth tab is called: California Newspapers
