This looks to be a really interesting way to get people connected with Nonprofits. Using your Facebook account, you hook up with Jumo to connect to organizations you care about, and maximize your potential in doing work for them.

Interesting, but please help me understand how this connects to nonprofit or government use of technology. Sometimes such announcements do have an impact, but if it isn't evident, please explain the connection with a comment! Thanks!

I found this article to be interesting. In the past few elections we have seen the use of social media soar. I think this is a great opportunity for an average person to be able to get the opportunity to ask questions that are meaningful to the general public. Prior to YouTube and Facebook it would seem nearly impossible for a question that we have to be answered by the President of the United States in a live news conference.

I think as technology progresses we will find more and more services such as this. This could prove to be very useful for people who find the tax season complicated and tedious. I think that this is a good attempt by the IRS to incorporate technology into their services to the public.

The shared IP is a good affordable choice... Nexcess.net was mentioned but there certainly others that would offer a comparable cost of 135.00 per year. You do have to shop wisely and avoid pitfalls in certain offers. Typically there is cost overruns when a certain amount of traffic is achieved. It would be imperative to understand what your anticipated traffic is and exactly how much you could afford. Some of these plans are designed to pigeon-hole the consumer.
