Sure, I’d love to see more nonprofits move from sending their newsletters out by email, to getting them into an RSS feed, which I can choose to look at, or not. Some of Web 2.0, though is more hype than useful. How many nonprofits really need to have a blog? Anyway, I’ll have more to say about Web 2.0

Look at what kinds of things you can do to your website, for instance, to create RSS feeds for new content, instead of thinking of starting a blog. I think it might be better not to start at all.
