What I’d really like to see though is a true, enthusiastic Open Source community get behind a “better&# spreadsheet for its own sake, not for the sake of copying Office. Phil: I agree – with time and effort, OO or any open source spreadsheet could out Excel Excel. Maybe WikiCalc is the way to go.

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.) If you are new to the Linux biz, there isn’t any reason I could see to adopt CentOS.

at 12:33 pm I think digital sharecropping works better as an analogy than as an actual analytical insight. The more curmudgeonly social networking users get, the less likely they are to adopt new social networks.

I think that Twitter is, in many ways, a harbinger of the future – I think eventually, a lot of things that happen between people over the net will work a lot like twitter, even if it’s not actually twitter – social networks carrying short snippets of people’s thoughts, ideas and events. Sure, why not.

And the major engine that makes these three types of ephemeral media really work, is RSS, which is the subject of the next post. I can think of two organizations that I’ve worked with, which are, in a sense, case studies for why to have a blog, or not to have a blog. It could be argued that iTunes made podcasting mainstream.

It is an internal assessment tool which helps organizations figure out what parts of their online strategy are working, and what parts might need tweaking. You cannot use the digital divide as a fig leaf over open site statistics anymore. For some organizations with some limited kinds of missions, this may be the case.

We’ve passed through Baltimore – which reminds me of a project I did once, way back when, to work with a group of mostly small and medium-sized organizations on technology planning.
