Around the time of the Nonprofit Technology Network ’s 2008 NTC conference, an even brighter light bulb went on. I wrote a blog post called, Mashups, Open APIs, and the Future of Collaboration in the Nonprofit Tech Sector. I knew I wanted to be in the session even without really knowing why.

As some of you know, part of my work is being the Community Builder for NetSquared , a project of Tech Soup that facilitates the adoption of social web tools by nonprofits and NGOs.
