It seems like just yesterday when Harry's tooth was loose and Wanna, a Cambodian blogger, taught us about the Cambodian tooth fairy.

Yes, so as long as your nonprofit is not obsessed with micro managing every word and are willing to invest in some blogger training, it could be worthwhile to explore.

I'll also be asking people to donate (minimum $10), ask their friends and networks to donate, and help me promote this cause. But for this one, I want to use it in a strategic way to energize or as a net to pull in new people. Are you a blogger? Here's my initial thinking. I need your help. What else should I consider?

Most people who work in the nonprofit sector do so out of a commitment to a cause or passion bigger than themselves or their desire for material things. Blogger and LinkedIn both launched in 2003. This is a tough one for many people especially those in their twenties and younger. Nonprofit people are good people.

That’s just one of the great pieces of advice we got from this week’s terrific guest blogger Anthony Pisapia of Philadelphia nonprofit Tech Impact.

MySpace is not just a community of poor people! In fact, I think MySpace is probably the best online representative of our society in terms of race and class that exists on the Web today, but it is incorrect to assume that MySpace is only a community of poor people. Many bloggers were surprised by that data and have no clue as to why.
