Zen and the Art of Nonprofit Technology

OCTOBER 18, 2007

I looked over Allan Benamer’s post on the Convio and Kintera initiatives, I looked harder at the Convio Open and Kintera Connect docs, and I also had a chat with some Kintera folk. I have a few comments. Allan is right – the Kintera API is more comprehensive, and provides for more flexibility than the Convio API.

Commenters on Allan’s post wonder about the fate of Convio’s IPO. And yeah after reading the docs, I agree, it’s bad. Speaking of metrics, Drew Bernard has an awesome post about how to use web analytics based on the functions of specific pages or sites. Allan, in his inimitable way, points out how bad the API is.

At first blush, although Kintera officially got out the door first, announcing Connect weeks ago, and delivering the APIs and docs on Friday, their play is a good start, but Convio, announcing Open tomorrow, appears to be ahead in terms of providing real openness. at 8:50 pm { 2 comments… read them below or add one } 1 Katrin 10.15.07

Kelly Lao, Executive Director at the German American Heritage Center, said the Bloomerang system allowed the GAHC to turn more lapsed or new donors into sustained givers. This includes Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Slides, Meet, and more. Their team found its solution in Bloomerang. The professional plan is $24.50/month.
