Nonprofit Tech for Good

NOVEMBER 28, 2011

At the time, nonprofits were primarily only using Myspace and YouTube.

Brand pages are expected to be launched some time this fall. During the early months of Facebook euphoria in 2008 I saw a lot of nonprofits abandon their communities on Myspace much too soon which was both unfortunate for their supporters on Myspace, and the nonprofits themselves.

Myspace is going with OpenID ! Not waiting for Android vaporware (my research suggested it was probably a long time coming, and would not be on my carrier, AT&T,) I decided to succumb, and buy an iPhone 3G. Is this a bad thing?
