Being in Austin at SXSW Interactive has given me the opportunity to talk to some amazing people in the social media space.  I’ve chatted with some of the most influential internet celebs, marketing masters, and social media pros such as PR Sarah Evans, Sloane Barrent, Shauna Causey, Chris Brogan, Brian Solis, Julia Roy, and Jolie O’Dell.

These folks all have one thing in common: an enormous online audience. They’ve built communities, are passionate about their area of expertise, and know how to harness the power of social media.  So why should you care?  Is there anything nonprofits can learn from their success on the web?

Christopher Smith Explains WhatGives!?

Hey, have you met WhatGives!? guy Christopher Smith?  Sure you have.  He’s the VP of Consumer Products and the Creative Director at MediaTrust.  Oh, come on now, you know him. @groovemonkey on Twitter?  Yeah, that Christopher Smith.  He joined us in Vegas in October for BlogWorld and interviewed all the cool people who visited the eBay/PayPal Charity Smackdown #superbooth.  It was non-stop and by the end of the two day convention the poor guy had lost his voice.  But it was all for good causes!!  (Check out some of his interviews below.)

Recently, he found himself on the other side of the microphone, talking about WhatGives!? (yay!) and how the website hopes to provide all kinds of info, support, and tools for charities and for the people who want to get involved.

Drop a note in our tip jar and let us know how we can help you do good.  Or tell us your doing good story.  Or brag about someone else who’s doing good.  We want to hear about it and we want to tell people about it, so the good will keep happening again and again!

BlogWorld ’09 opened with a bang Friday and WhatGives!? was there to take advantage of all the smart people strolling the exhibit floor.  In our own fabulous mini-studio we chatted with some of the most engaging and inspiring people working in social media today.

First up – Brian Solis of FutureWorks and co-author of Putting the Public Back in Public Relations.  He spoke with our WhatGives!? guy, Christopher Smith about Blogworld and how the future looks less like marketing and more like people and communities sharing messages with purpose.

But wait, there’s more!

Brian Solis continues with thoughts insights into how we can use the internet to galvanize greater communities and put the “we” into the social web.
