On Thursday, I attended the unconference/open space portion of SOCAP09 (Social Capital Markets 2009). I found a few tech sessions that were relevant to the purposes of TechSoup, and as is always the case, I collected the business cards of some intelligent people doing good work. What's the best platform to use for online collaboration?

Whenever I learn about a new concept or trend in technology, I try and think about how nonprofits and libraries could use it or benefit from it. The movement has huge potential for nonprofits and public libraries, but it still has some ways to go in the overall technology sector. Nonprofits use donor management tools to manage funders.

I've kind of become an open-data geek in the past few months, largely thanks to NetSquared's unconference at NTC. Open APIs offer new possibilities for the nonprofit sector, both in how we can use governmental and institutional data to serve our beneficiaries and in how we can deepen our impact by sharing our own data within the sector.
