As some of you know, part of my work is being the Community Builder for NetSquared , a project of Tech Soup that facilitates the adoption of social web tools by nonprofits and NGOs.

The Social Actions project began in 2006. There wasn’t much scalability in the way I was pursuing the project. I wrote a blog post called, Mashups, Open APIs, and the Future of Collaboration in the Nonprofit Tech Sector. A few years ago, we had just a handful of pioneering platforms in microphilanthropy.
