If you are in non profit and don't read these, you are crazy

Beth Kanter does an ongoing amazing service to those of us interested in the intersection between non profits/NGOs and technology with her regular NPTech Tag Summaries. The latest is out...NpTech Tag Summary: Valentine's Day, Open Source As Fair Trade, and Dictatorships 2.0.

If you are new to this, there is a del.icio.us tag NpTech that a loose knit group uses to tag interesting stuff we find on the net. Beth decided to make it more useful for those dealing with overload by creating these regular summaries. She often themes them, adds visuals and voila - a great piece. It is truly a gift to the world, made possible by a loose network contributing around a single tag.

Brilliant!

Nancy,

In the interest of disclosure, I have a small contract with CompuMentor to summarize the weekly tag stream. I had started doing this back over the summer sort of haphazardly, but then I actually offered small bit of money to do it.

This is an example of open content -- it is published on netsquared, I cross post to my blog. It belongs to the community. Kudos to CompuMentor for walking the walk and talking the talk of connecteness and open source thinking.
