A new clone of twitter launched called Revou (A reviewed by Tech Crunch). You can check them out at Revou.com. Twitter is a micro-blogging service meets social networking platform. You can update your friends with the mundane via short quips sent in via the twitter site, email, or cell (or other websites that use the API). Conferences use the service to update attendees about program changes or perhaps jazz people up about an event. However, this is all hosted on twitter.com meaning you need to utilize all of twitter’s features, not create your own and style however you want. Revou gives you the source code to run on your own service. This is particularly attractive for nonprofits who run closed support groups or want to create one-time custom made social network without requiring users to have a twitter account. Read more »

We’re excited to announce the soft launch or Alpha stage of our PowerOn product for HIV/STD prevention in mid-April. PowerOn was developed by the Univ of Washington in Seattle as a micro-site system with 650 pages of tailored hiv and std prevention content. We’ve licensed the content from UW and augmented it with custom code to help outreach workers chat, track and evaluate their online outreach. Read more »

We’ve been corresponding back and forth with Allan Benamer about Google’s Donation Checkout. Essentially, Google gives their checkout system to nonprofits for free with a 501c3 letter fax/email verification process. This is great for nonprofits, because currently, EVERYONE charges per transaction for donations (with the exception of a select few nonprofits). I’ve pasted the comments going back and forth below, or you can check out the conversation by viewing Allan’s blog http://www.nonprofittechblog.org/google-for-non-profits-just-launched.

Google has offered services for free or low cost to nonprofits since nearly its inception. Last week, they announced a new portal, similar to their business services portal, that lists all the nonprofit services they offer http://www.google.com/nonprofits/. Read more »

It’s not often I get super excited about web 2.0 tools. My eyes tend to gloss over when the next new social aggregator, fluffy bunny maker or rate-my cause, type of service pops up. But when a great tool emerges and its free or low cost for nonprofits, I can hardly contain my excitement (I just ran a 5k at the gym to help).
The service is called Mobile Datanow and I read about it on TechCrunch. You can watch the video on how to use the service here and how to administer it here. The first nonprofit to leave a comment, will get a free consultation with me to implement this service. Read more »
