A monthly roundup of our favorite Nonprofit Tech Resources.
- The U.S. government's giving a big boost to RSS. We can only hope that, one day, Joe Biden will use Twitter to let people know where he's having lunch, like Shaq does.
- Recovery.org looks as if it may serve as a great model for the use of data by nonprofits, too.
- In fact, we're all about data visualization this month. Check out Project Descry for inspiration. Or use Wordle to create a nifty cloud of text of, say, a Terms of Service agreement.
- Speaking of Internet flare-ups, somebody claiming to be an Obama strategist said nonprofit e-mail newsletters are "a waste of time". That kinda hurts our feelings. Cue righteous indignation and outrage!
- To prove nonprofit newsletters are worthwhile, here's your monthly dose of cute: kittens riding a Roomba! Feel your stress melt away. You're welcome.
- And, back to the real world: M+R has a good case study on fundraising in a depressed economy (PDF).
- Rebranding. MPower is now Orange Leap. We like oranges. And we like jumping. So, we like the new name.
- The Pizzigati Prize. Are you geeky enough to win $10,000?
- A British neuroscientist warns that social networking sites may be "infantilising the mid-21st century mind". Sounds like somebody's upset her friend requests are being refused.
- Did your organization make a video in 2008? Is it about something other than chickens? Submit it to the 2009 Nonprofit Video Awards.
- Playing TinyURL roulette. You've seen the links: http://tinyurl.com/34kldn. But have you tried changing one of the characters to see where it might take you? Sometimes, it's nowhere, but sometimes, the results are, well, you tell us: http://tinyurl.com/34zldn.
