Well, widgets are basically movable, sharable mini-applications that can be used to raise donations, take action on a cause or spread information and awareness about your mission. These types of badges are not usually very interactive and only allow for a logo and/or photo, short description of the cause, link to a video or more information, possibly some sort of progress indicator and of course a donate now button. I'd like to thank new Idealware blogger Debra Askanase for the inspiration for this post, which actually take from her idea for a post around fundraising and advocacy widgets, and which she graciously let me run with due to my slight obsession with widgets.

Today's big news is that ESRI is expanding its donation program to include four new products ( ArcGIS Publisher , ArcGIS Network Analyst , ArcPad , and ArcEditor ) and an updated version of its ArcView software. In case you're not familiar with ESRI, it's a software company that makes professional geographical information systems (GIS) software. The ESRI is also letting us loosen its donation restrictions : qualified organizations can now request two donations of ArcView and ArcPad a year, with no limit for other products.

If you have a catalog of any kind, be it books, products, article, or news you should look into integrating this tool so that your website becomes easier to search and navigate on your website as well as through external search engines. Those knowledge centers have relevant information and hence if your content is relevant, it is given a high content relevancy rating for each word that it finds.

For a long time people in the nonprofit sector that I work with have complained about information overload. In this following post, the author spells out information overload like a Vegas buffet.

A few days ago Susan Richardson raised the issue of Sticky Information in her "Joining Dots" blog. On the one hand, we can be very lazy about acquiring information (Google trumps the local library for starters), spectacularly avoiding it when we don't like what it tells us.

I believe this has important consequences for information systems design.
