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 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.

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

Some helpful tips for if/when you have to register a domain name for your nonprofit's website, and it's already taken. Creative names are worth money, and people are happy to squat on them for as long as possible. These are just a few ways to help get around it.

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.

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.

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.

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.
