This is where you'll find all the stuff that is too small for a blog post but can't quite be said in 140 characters.

The Third Sector Lab website is undergoing a makeover, it will return in its full glory soon with info on clients we've worked with, services offered and tons of useful resources.

A few things about me in a boring list:

- I help charities and social entrepreneurs with social and digital media as Head Consultant for Third Sector Lab.
- I'm the founder of Be Good Be Social, Scotland's third sector social media gathering which has now gone global with events in Toronto and beyond.
- I sit on Scottish Community Foundation's National Grants Committee.
- I'm the founder of ThirdSectorForums.co.uk, a friendly place for social entrepreneurs and non-profit types to learn, debate and connect
- I've blogged for the likes of The Guardian and The Sunday Mail.
- I love mountain biking but I'm very, very bad at it

Sign up for third sector social media news, resources, #BeGoodBeSocial ticket updates, latest events and more. We won't email you more than once a month and we won't spam you.

The full report is available on the IBM Center for Business of Government site. Although written with government in mind the lessons on engaging the public using online tools are equally as applicable to the charity world.
