'Note from Beth: Last week I was in New Orleans for the National Assembly of State Arts Councils meeting. I facilitated a peer session with Public Information Officers and a Mini-Workshop on managing and measuring a social media presence.

'In a bold (but not unheard-of) strategy, the animal rights group recently launched its own “animal utopia” on Minecraft. The game server includes a full re-creation of PETA’s headquarters.

Several years ago, I was sitting in a fundraising meeting agonizing about our year-end mailer.
