One of the first things I do every day is check Fractured Atlas’s “membership analytics dashboard” so that I can monitor how many new members have signed up in the last day, week, month, along with the pace of membership terminations, depth of service utilization, etc. (Yes, I know I’m a geek.)
The closest thing to [...]
I’ve always believed that the best way to promote Fractured Atlas is to promote our members. I mean, who wants to hear about a boring old service organization when there are vertigoats out there? That’s why we do the member profiles on the blog, provide online profiles for our fiscal sponsees, and all the rest.
Over [...]
Just a reminder… Our weekly Featured Member profiles, posted on this blog, aren’t the only way to become better acquainted with the work of members of the Fractured Atlas community. Come over to the Fractured Atlas YouTube channel and see videos submitted by our members under “Playlists”. Dance, film, theatre, opera, animation [...]
I first want to thank all of the Fractured Atlas members who took our annual survey — all 724 of you. We had about 10% of our membership (based on the date we released the survey) take the survey, which gives us a really terrific sample to work from. This is the first year that [...]
Four Fractured Atlas members (three are fiscally sponsored projects!) were recently awarded the Economic Revitalization for Performing Artists (ERPA) award from The Field.
Congratulations to Rachel Chavkin (The Team), Conni Hall (Conni’s Avant Garde Restaurant), Jon Stancato, and Caroline Woolard (Artist’s Community) who will each be paid $5,000 to research and develop their projects!

A couple of months ago, I announced support for blog feeds in member profiles. Today I want to point out a neat little feature of that tool which may have gone unnoticed: feed autodiscovery.
What’s that, you ask? Aha! Those of you asking that question are exactly the target audience for the feature. As it turns [...]
Just about a month after the Flickr announcement, we’ve got some more bling for your online member profile!
If you’ve got a blog somewhere, the odds are pretty good that you’re publishing a feed (either RSS or Atom). Well, you can now enter your feed url into your profile settings and it will automatically pull [...]
For a few years now, the buggiest piece of software on the Fractured Atlas website has unquestionably been the stuff we used to power our member image galleries. (I won’t even reveal the name of the software because it was such a disappointment and I don’t want to badmouth a free open source software [...]
It’s time to start putting (user)names with faces!
The Fractured Atlas website now supports Gravatars. Gravatars are globally recognizable avatars. Basically you can associate a small picture with your email address and have that picture be associated with your username across any number of websites. There are already thousands of websites (particularly Wordpress [...]
It’s that time of year again. You know, the one where we bribe you to tell us how we’re doing. That’s right, it’s the 2008 Member Survey! As usual, we’ll thank you for your feedback by giving you a free month of membership.
This only takes about 5-10 minutes and it’s really incredibly valuable for [...]
