    This is a pretty interesting way that people are recruiting for summer work. It really begins to show the strength of services like Facebook, YouTube, Reddit and many others today.

UNICEF Raising Funds Using Tag - 0 views

  •  
    UNICEF is playing with the idea of using QR Codes to encouraging people to donate items on a 1X2 (buy one, give one) basis while shopping at the store. It is a pretty neat way to utilize the technology, and encourage people to donate.

Charity Navigator - 0 views

  •  
    A pretty simple, straightforward way of checking out charities before you donate. Especially helpful as so many charities pop-up to help Japan.

    Actually, this may be the best explanation I've seen on how to use Twitter, anywhere. Certainly applicable to the average user, as well as any NPO.

SpiderOak - Cloud Storage Review - 0 views

  •  
    For a multi-platform cloud solution, SpiderOak seems like an interesting way to approach cloud computing for a small NPO or at home. The process seems pretty similar to Dropbox, although, the lack of Android support seems to be a major hole in their operation.

Feb 24th - Social Media from the Inside Out Webinar - 0 views

  •  
    With so many organizations out there competing for attention and money, having a solid social media strategy is going to be paramount to success in the future. This Webinar looks pretty interesting, and should help to sort out some of those issues for NPOs of any size. I would be really interested to hear Brooke McMillan talk about managing the Livestrong presence online, and how they look at Social Media as a fundraising tool.

Four Social Trends Impacting the Future of Online Fundraising - 0 views

  •  
    Far too many NGOs are relying on Facebook and Twitter to get connected with donors, and its time that we try to break out of this two-party system. There are millions of potential donors, volunteers, or just concerned people to rely only on the "usual suspects." I personally find the team focus for fundraising to be the most interesting, and probably most-effective for getting people involved and raising large amounts of cash. Make it highly visible, and make it competitive, and people can have a lot of fun doing the right thing.
