In October 2009, I wrote about a build-it-yourself iPhone App development service called SwebApps that was waving set-up fees (normally $400-800) for nonprofits until 12/31/2009. I personally took advantage of the offer and built an App for Nonprofit Tech 2.0. Have some fun with it!

2009 is going to be an interesting year. This year, I think the watch word for smaller nonprofits will be: segmentation. The larger nonprofits seem to have it down pat.

At least in Massachusetts, the majority of nonprofits work with network support people who don’t focus totally on nonprofit organizations (there are some wonderful exceptions, however, of companies that focus on the sector.) No technology vendor, even the largest ones, can support everything. But I think more is needed.

I’m not leaving nonprofit technology, though, just this particular role – I expect to stay involved, keep connected, keep prodding and poking, and keep learning. I expect, in one way or the other, to be putting on a nonprofit hat. I have now realized I need to set it down for good.
