Nonprofits: Have we had enough of "vote for me" fundraising yet?

Judi Sohn

This weekend, the winners were announced in the Chase Community Challenge. On paper, it seemed simple enough. Chase gives $5 million to nonprofits based solely on the votes of regular folk on Facebook. "Their money, our votes." In reality, the challenge illustrated exactly why these "vote for me" contests in the nonprofit world have got to go away.

The iPad will probably be a great device. Someday.

I'm not buying an iPad , nor am I buying into the hype about it. I love that with Apple products, folks don't realize that they can't live without something until Steve Jobs tells them what they can't live without. At this moment we have 5 Macs in active use in our home, 2 iPhones and one iPhone without SIM that's essentially an iPod Touch. But I'm a realist, not a fangirl.

Facebook fake status spam alert

I had a therapeutic ERCP this morning to finally deal with biliary tract issues that have been bothering me since 2003. The fact that I'm still coming off Propofol and Dilaudid is the only excuse I have that I nearly fell for this. I know better. Like I needed to be spending the time I should be relaxing in bed and enjoying time with my online friends instead resetting my Facebook password and cleaning up every single authorized application?
