About Me:
Susan Tenby is the TechSoup Community Manager, where she is responsible for the promotion, management and direction of the TS community forums, with an audience of 100,000 unique visitors a month.
She recently launched a community of over 400 nonprofit staff members and volunteers in Second Life. This community has a shared community blog at and a wiki about nonprofit activities in SL. They have a shared community tagging project using the tag “NPSL” (Nonprofits in Second Life) on sites such as del.icio.us, Technorati and Flickr, weekly in-world meetings, every Friday from 8:30-9:30am PST to teach scripting and best-practices to nonprofits in SL.

She launched a sim in Second Life called The Nonprofit Commons, with the NPSL community, on land and buildings, all donated by Anshe Chung Studios.
This nonprofits-only sim houses 40 organizations, free of charge, to lower the barrier of access to the virtual world.

She runs monthly online community meet-ups in San Francisco. She speaks at conferences (in June, she will be running a panel on Nonprofits in Second Life at Games for Change on Virtual Activism) And she writes on the topic of online community building in its various forms.
