The document discusses using social media effectively for nonprofits through a "crawl, walk, run, fly" framework. It emphasizes starting with strategy and measurement, then improving over time. Interactive assessments and examples show how nonprofits can listen, participate, promote, publish and build networks on social media. Challenges discussed include capacity, culture, measurement and control. Solutions center on developing strategies, allocating staff time, and learning from mistakes. The overall message is that nonprofits should keep moving forward with social media through incremental improvements.
