Uwe Schneider was able to make a fresh start in 2009 after he and Seidenberg raised over 4,000 euros in donations via blogs and YouTube and he finally found an apartment. nest organises the re:campaign conference annually and publishes the guidelines Social Media for NGOs. Ole Seidenberg is the founder and managing director of the nest Social Media Agency.
