Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

JUNE 18, 2007

June 18, 2007 OK, so I finally drank the Facebook coolaid – and although it took me a long time to get around to, I have now realized how many people in the nptech field have already been on facebook for a while. I decided to try out facebook when I kept hearing about the integration of other social networking sites into facebook.

Unfortunately, the nptech world hasn’t yet caught on to the “Planet&# phenomenon of the open source world (see Planet Ubuntu Women.) I think it would be very great to have a few nptech-focused “planets&# out there. And, I also don’t want to do too much cross-posting of content. It’s a great idea, I think.

One of the big changes that has happened in the nptech space, besides the ways in which Web 2.0 has clearly changed the nptech providers community, is the increasing use of Salesforce as a nonprofit CRM tool. So doesn’t the metaphor used for that software matter, then, in a nonprofit setting?
