Miro , the free and open source media player, has released a Firefox plugin , which automatically inserts their affiliate code when you buy something from Amazon.

Amazon seems to be leading in the next wave of evolution of hosting – pay only for what you need, when you need it. The news today, and why I’m bothering to talk about this, is that Red Hat announced that it will offer RHEL – their enterprise distribution, on Amazon E2.

The title of this column, Mobile for Good, seems like a bit of a misnomer for the crop of news I'm sharing this month.

Live Music Battles Live music battles make for great events because you can find a lot of excellent musical talent who want to get their names out there.

There’s the Amazon list or the deal-of-the-day. Obviously, it should be mobile-friendly. You need a mobile-friendly design, short one-page donation form, no unnecessary anything. My kids go to an arts high school, and they were promoting a SpongeBob SquarePants musical. There’s a lot of noise.

So nonprofits are building Alexa Amazon skills to reach new audiences and build relationships with potential donors. So take a look at these Amazon skills.
