I realize that we’ve been having this conversation ever since NTC used to be called the "Circuit Rider Roundup." " Its not that there is a lack of technology vendors and support. There are many challenges – how do you teach self-reflection and self-evaluation?

This post gives me the chance to finally write the very belated post on MPower I’ve been meaning to write since I got back from NTC. I had a great sit-down with Randy McCabe , CEO and Leo D’Angelo (CTO) of MPower at NTC. MPower is not a new product. It’s been around for quite a while, and has a solid user base.

April 15, 2007 At NTC , there was a lot of talk about the “big three&# open source CMS packages that most people these days in our sector are using: Drupal , Plone , and Joomla. I hadn’t had experience with either Plone or Joomla, but in talking to folks both at NTC and Penguin Day about Joomla, I got intrigued.

One of the potential uses of Twitter is as a “back channel&# for events and the like. But why not add another channel to the back channel happenings, for instance, at NTC ? So a conversation is happening, in a session, or in a plenary, and people are talking about that on another channel. Sounds like a reasonable idea.

One of the case studies I shared was about NTEN’s recent social fundraiser to raise scholarship money for NTC conference attendance.

That sort of information could be a newsletter sign up, a contact form that should be responded to, an online donation or an event registration. One sets up a page (often donation or event page) on the CRM vendors web platform and link your page to their pages. Most often nonprofits want to capture information from web users.

I ran into an old colleague at NTC , and it came up, because he had been thinking of contributing to the journal, but decided that he probably won’t, for reasons I will talk about. April 7, 2007 I had heard about this new journal a while ago, and it was sitting in some small corner of my brain, waiting for me to pay attention.
