Enjoyed my day in Berkeley yesterday at the Craigslist Foundation Bootcamp 2009. Enjoyed Deb Jospin and Shirley Sagawa discussing the Charismatic Organization, their recent book. They had more than 1000 folks show up to talk about service, nonprofits and social action. Announcing All For Good was a big piece of the event, of course.

2009 is going to be an interesting year. Give books to needy children or build a performing arts center? Why it matters that there’s federal colorectal cancer screening legislation.

Earlier this week, I wrote a guest post over at FrogLoop blog about Five Social Media Books , although not everyone liked the post.

And, I’m an avid reader, so the idea of being able to carry a bunch of books with me in a small package (instead of the usual very heavy pile I travel with) is quite appealing. And $10 a book is great – I love the idea of not using all of that paper. Can’t share books – I like to loan out my books to people.
