Cloud computing offers us all the same freedom for our information infrastructure. In addition to running a youth organization or a job training program or an environmental advocacy campaign, you are also running an information and technology system on which you do your work.

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.

Many of us were digusted earlier this month to learn that once again Yahoo had cooperated with the Chinese authorities' request to turn over a citizen's private records, this time the discussion group threads of 35 year-old Li Zhi. The information was used to stick the dissident and former civil servant with an eight-year sentence on the charge of inciting subversion. The news, coupled with Google's capitulation to Chinese censorship, reached a boil on Capitol Hill yesterday, where the House dealt the firms a stinging rebuke for these practices, which lawmakers called "disgusting" and "abhorrent".

If you’re interested in reading more about the campaign, Lawrence Bender has written a guest post on Yahoo’s Yodel Anecdotal blog.
I’ve been having a lot of widgety thoughts recently, so I thought I’d bundle up a few loose ends in the one (long) post.

Also, make sure that if you are using Google XML Sitemaps to ensure that your Yahoo API key is entered so that Yahoo can be notified that you’ve updated your sitemaps. If you do use Amazon S3, please make sure that you keep your credit card information updated with Amazon.
