As you know, I'm working on a screencast about Google Analytics and have been collecting real life nonprofit examples. I put a query out on NTEN Affinity Group of Nonprofit Webmasters.

I'm working on another screencast (sponsored by NTEN and SalesForce ) about the SalesForce/Google Ad Words Integration. If you're just starting, don't enter a million different keywords, landing pages, and ads. Remember that your goal is the answer to the question: What do you want people to do on your site?

I'm very interested in learning how different types of networks or communities work in a networked way - this whole notion of working wikily.
