I like to track the data, but also think about what it means for nonprofits. An estimated 5-10 thousand new accounts are opened per day. - That nonprofits and companies should not set up a Twitter account to "prattle on about their products and services."

Malicious hacking of websites using SQL injections, open ports, poor permissions, etc., For many of these issues, good spam/virus filtering is essential. It's fairly reasonable for a nonprofit and works quite well.
