Very relevant and true. The reality that to consider social as just a part of a campaign is to critically misunderstand the audience expectations, and the opportunity.

The months after Wilma were some of the most challenging times of my life. Your work with afterwilma was greatly appreciated. Talking about Wilma now is almost like therapy for those of us that live here, it was a very traumatic and dramatic time. We witnessed the best and the worst of people, but in the end I am left with a strong sense of community, pride in the people of Cancun for pulling the city up so quickly and the strength to know that I personally can survive just about anything. We did start a group hurricane blog after Wilma, thankfully we have not put it to good use. We've only had some brushes with storms over the last four years, and I hope it stays that way for some time tc come. In speaking of social media, I was joking with my husband that I had better get a Blackberry or something to be able to tweet during a hurricane! No electricity, no computer, thus I really need that new toy. :) Thanks for the flashback post. Hi Steve,

Visiting Cancun this very week, I am struck by the damage that is still visible. When afterwilma debuted, I like many others felt an affinity to the people afflicted by the hurricane. Like you, I thought there was that the window of opportunity was blown open by the storm and that perhaps we'd hear the story first-hand from municipal, state and federal authorities. The blog coincided with the rise of social media, showing how Flickr could truly be used in a collective manner. The photos were awesome and told a powerful story of crisis and recovery. But I wonder if the blog format itself worked. Would you have had better participation from authorities if it had been a wiki? (I think the answer is no, but I still want to ask that as a question.) It's terribly frustrating being passionate about a place without the opportunity to engage in an engaging dialogue. Tourism officials continue to use the megaphone (whether it's an actual megaphone or twitter) where what we crave is truly the human voice. Kudos to you and your family for allowing you to invest such time and heart. I empathize with your mothballing Mexico and consider that a possible option of my own. Ron Thank you, Steve, for sharing these insights.

Lots of great advice - a wonderful way to get people thinking in advance of Thursday's NFPtweetup and help those that haven't been to one before get an idea about what to expect. I must admit, I felt quite nostalgic to see those photos of the first event on Flickr - and quite proud at how far NFPtweetup has come. I'm hoping NFPtweetup Four will be as challenging, fun, informative, and as unexpectedly good as usual. See you there :) R Thanks for contributing this fantastic post, Steve.
