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. Convio has, seemingly, gotten some serious Web 2.0 apps out there.

This May, Convio will host our 8th annual Convio Cares Days, where employees across the country take time off to support local non-profits. A small team in the Convio office in DC has been setting everything up and I wanted to offer 5 tips on organizing an office volunteer event. Not everyone enjoys the same kinds of activities.
