Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

Although I have stayed in town pretty much this month, I've done a ton of stuff around the area. The NetSquared conference just wrapped up, and it was a lot of fun. Networking with people I know is always great, and I found the premise of this year's program different and exciting. Netsquared had picked 21 projects to run through two days of pitches concluding with voting from the attendees.

Photo from Lynetter's Flickr Stream and discovered via Twitter from Cogdog. That was one of gems I found while taking a quick twitter break. How, if at all, do we transform this metaphor to nonprofits? Twitter is like hanging around the water cooler with your colleagues from different offices, while reading blogs is like attending a seminar on a professional topic where there is an opportunity to discuss the topic with your peers.

We've been a Google Grant partner for years. This is a program that I think many more nonprofits need to take advantage of. The problem of many (most) social sector organizations is outreach (marketing, in business-speak). Because of a lack of budget for marketing, it's hard for potential clients to find out about the services that are available to them.

We just did a site upgrade on Bookshare.org : our third in as many months. Among the dozens of improvements in this update are two that I'm particularly jazzed about. The first is the initial international changes as we take Bookshare.org global. Users with disabilities outside the U.S. can easily see which books have global permissions, which are required when we can't rely on our copyright exemption (which only works inside the U.S.).

We came up with a similar list for Benetech. However, since our issues are all information tech issues, we don't fit the InnoCentive model (which is hard sciences).

Effectively managing cloud technology is getting more complex. From cybersecurity concerns, vendor lock-in, cost increases, or lack of transparency on costs, it can quickly get out of control. Knowing what you can control and finding a platform that’s built with nonprofits in mind is key.

There are obviously some real benefits for a non-profit in building lasting partnerships with its technology vendors and assistance providers. But as in any long-term relationship, the are also special challenges that can emerge after a long association.
