NTEN published my somewhat snarky predictions for nonprofits' use of fundraising technologies in 2012. My overall predictions are that most things will be pretty much the same as last year (and 2010 and 2009, etc.): And don't neglect what's already working for you. many nonprofits will struggle with out-of-date systems.
