Apologies to everyone who’s wondered where I’ve been for the past few weeks. My writing time has been absorbed by a contract with NetSquared, which is a group that seeks to highlight and encourage the use of social web tools (social networks, google maps, wikis, etc) by social benefit organizations.
I interview people who either work for tech savvy social benefit organizations or work for technology companies that assist social benefit organizations. I post two interviews each week on my blog at NetSquared.
It’s been a great opportunity to be inspired by people who have devoted their lives to saving the world, whether through non-profits or by building great businesses that enable people to connect and collaborate. Check out the interviews if you’re interested in learning how the Internet is being used to effectuate real change in our lives.
If they’re too boring for you, too bad. My contract with NetSquared allows me to re-post the interviews wherever I please three days after I post them on NetSquared’s site, and I plan on sharing some of the more widely appealing interviews on here in the future, so I’ll find a way to bore you with them no matter what.
I’d love to hook you up with the folks at the Salesforce Foundation (division of salesforce.com)
They have a massive CSR program, a huge part of which helps philanthropic bodies upgrade from legacy computing systems to dynamic, SaaS, web-based stuff…quite cool
