Beneblog: Technology Meets Society
APRIL 24, 2006
Benetech is all about applying values in the development of technology. I'm excited to announce the appointment of someone who lives these values as our new Chief Technical Officer, Dr. Patrick Ball! Finding the right person for CTO is one of my biggest goals this year, and it didn't dawn on me initially that Patrick wanted to move onto a broader stage from his position as the head of Benetech's Human Rights Program.

Here's another interesting article from back in Janaury I just read while sorting through the stacks of magazines in my office. From January's Technology Review : " The Internet is Broken." by David Talbot. You can find it online here. Most of what we read about internet innovation these days focuses on "Web 2.0", on all the new interactive internet applications coming on-line.

As I mentioned in a post a couple weeks ago, I've started writing a weekly feature over at Blogher called Solutionary Women. I thought I'd share this week's interview with Mary Brune, co-founder of MOMS (Making Our Milk Safe). Mary is a professional writer and mom to her daughter, Olivia. "MOMS was founded by four nursing mothers to address the threat of toxic chemicals in human breast milk.

I should announce my speaking gigs more often: I'll be speaking tomorrow (Thursday) at the PARC Forum about Benetech: 4 pm April 20, 2006. Friday afternoon, I'll drive to Stockton and give a similar talk at the University of the Pacific. I am really getting into speaking: having a lot of fun telling stories and getting people excited about social entrepreneurship.

I received an email from Paul Lamb encouraging participating in the " Nonprofits of the Future " project. It's an opportunity to dream and vision a little. Paul asks us to answer this question: "What the technologically empowered nonprofit of the future will look like 5 or 10 years down the road?" Paul offers a few wonderful scenarios and there is a lot to ponder in the comments.

I hope most of you have checked out the Non-Profit Blog Exchange that I refer to over in the left sidebar. It's a great way to keep up with the non-profit blogosphere. This week another of the "virtual events" is underway, where we all get paired up and write about each other. When the music stopped, I was dancing with Hilary Marsh, author of Online Content: Thoughts and Ideas.

Payroll optimization can be one of the most time-consuming and complex factors of small business management. Yet, organizations that crack the code on streamlining employee compensation often discover innovative avenues for growth. With the right strategies in place, outsourcing and streamlining payroll processes can result in substantial time and resource savings.

When your mother leaves you a message, in the same tone that she leaves you a message to remember to buy sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection, that you might want to keep your eye on legislation challenging network neutrality and to go to savetheinternet.com and publicknowledge.com , you know it's serious. So for those of you whose mother did not call you this morning, here's the scoop.

PCs for poor students. I had a great meeting with Timothy Anderson, the head of the World Computer Exchange , on a recent visit to Boston. I have watched his project as it's grown over the past few years. They take thousands of used PCs (but still decent ones, they are starting to focus on Pentium IIIs) and ship them by the containerload to schools in the developing world.

I'm responding to Paul Light's first post on Social Edge: Let There Be Light: 1. Do social entrepreneurs exist? The question of "social entrepreneur" being too exclusively applied is somewhat amusing to me. For me, the two main reasons to identify as a social entrepreneur are: 1. You get to meet people who are much more like you than typical nonprofit or for-profit leaders, and 2.

Via Christine.net comes a summary of a discussion from N-TEN's NTC Conference last month. This one well worth reading if you're interested in social software and nonprofits. Christine reports that this chicken and egg question came up: " Do people's social needs drive the emergence of new technology, or does. the emergence of these new technologies drive what people want to do?

Madeline Stanionis, author of new book on email fundraising. My colleague Michael Stein emailed me about a month ago right before the NTC Conference to offer me a FREE review copy of a new book by Madeline Stanionis about how nonprofits can raise money online using email. I love the title, " Raising Thousands (if Not Tens of Thousands) of Dollars with Email.

Across the nonprofit sector, organizations invest heavily in donor retention efforts, yet the struggle of cultivating lasting relationships remains. While attracting new donors is crucial, the lack of repeat donors poses significant financial risks. Through a comprehensive analysis of industry data, experts argue that there is a direct correlation between donor burnout, donor retention, and the talent retention crisis.

I'm trying to get myself back into blogging again. There's no other better way than to jump in! I'm researching resources for how-to guide I've just started working and don't it always happen that when I'm looking for resources on a particular topic, I find really great stuff that is not at all related but I'm interested in nonetheless. That's where blogging and delicious can be really handy.

I'm edging my way back into blogging sideways. One of the questions my father-in-law has begin to ask, "What's next?" We've all been talking to him about that and we discovered that he always wanted to learn the oboe! That's a hard instrument to learn -- particularly if you are in your 80's. Being a musician and wind player, I suggested taking up a recorder as a first step.

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.

Under Pressure Originally uploaded by [ CK ]. I'm busy researching TCO for how-to guide and I keep bumping into very interesting, but non-related articles and resources. So, gotta take a minute or two to capture the concept of the Deep Web, particularly as someone who is on the hunt for good resources - and not just North Americancentric ones. I also want to ponder the concept of the deep web and whether or not Web 2.0 is deep - or just shallow, disjointed, and random.
