Will the Twestival organizers send tax receipts to the donors, or will that fall to charity:water? Beth Kanter wrote an extensive, thoughtful account of the upcoming Twestival event , which aims to raise $500,000 for the group charity:water. As a fundraising operations geek, I wonder how this works on the back end.

I’ve already mentioned Beth Kanter’s extensive discussion of Twestival , an attempt to raise $500,000 for the group charity:water using Twitter. Beth titled her post Are Fundraising Groundswells A Massive Opportunity or Distraction for Nonprofit Organizations? and didn’t reach a conclusion either way.

I found that MediaMonkey , a free music organizer/player, sync tool that I had used with an older MP3 player, will sync my tunes with the Pre. I really like the Pre's user interface. Sometimes it's slow to respond, but overall it's easy to use and intuitive once you learn the basic gestures. The trick is to put the Pre in Media Sync mode.
