It’s always fun at this time of the year to look back at what’s happened. I’m having a good time on this post as I get to find all sorts of great stuff that I somehow missed during the year. And it's no surprise what the number 1 hottest topic was for 2009. Can you guess? So without further set, I’m happy to announce the Top Posts and Topics as defined by Social Filtering - meaning by everyone involved directly or indirectly in the Nonprofit Technology Community.
