The web was buzzing last week with news that a small freebie magazine, Cooks Source, had allegedly committed a copyright violation by publishing a writer’s apple pie recipe and article without asking her permission. Edward Champion provided a synopsis of the entire incident and discovered quite a few other possible violations. The magazine’s dubious actions would have been bad enough, but the editor further inflamed the situation by her arrogant and clueless response to the original author.

Yesterday's Twitter chat for associations (#assnchat) focused on volunteer recognition and appreciation. It was encouraging to see all the great ideas participants had for this important topic, but somewhat discouraging to realize how few organizations seem to have a comprehensive, systematic approach to volunteer development. Answer me this: would any credible, successful HR professional manage paid staff the way volunteers are managed in your organization?

Yesterday I wrote about the Communication Shutdown campaign. I appreciate the efforts of those raising awareness and donations for the cause – autism – but I’m not convinced that shutting down communication was the best way to do it. However, it did get my attention and I learned more about autism, including the fact that its fund-raising success doesn’t match autism’s prevalence relative to other causes.

Say what you will about Congress. You can’t deny that the institution has embraced some form of social media. Members of Congress have their own Facebook pages. Congressional committees use Twitter to promote upcoming hearings. The House and Senate have their own YouTube channels. A few are even creating their own app. However, as association lobbyists, are we using those same tools to promote our advocacy efforts to our members?

I believe deeply in the power of language. I believe language is imbued with meaning and a few simple words can inspire action and commitment. And I believe that words do have consequences. That said, I find myself tiring of the periodic word wars waged to debate whether strategic planning is dead, visioning is worthwhile, or relevance is a sufficient goal.

Josh Bernoff of Forrester Research has written a must-read post on the splintering of the Web, saying that the golden days of the standardized, open-source Web are over. He says we should prepare ourselves for a world in which platforms function well enough within their ecosystems, but are deaf to the rest of the universe around them. Mobile devices and online networks are the most obvious examples. iPhone apps don’t work on a Blackberry, and vice versa.

Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.
