Things We Like: April 2008

A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
- 42 Ways Not To Make Trash. We believe No Impact Man may be the reincarnation of Too Much Coffee Man.
- Soocial promises to manage your address book across your computers, mobile phones, even Gmail. Their demo movie uses vintage Knight Rider clips. What is it with Europeans and David Hasselhoff?
- Facebook's new "Insider's Guide to Viral Marketing". As one wag puts it, "First they ban you from spamming your friends, then they tell you how to do it."
- WaterSaver Technology's AQUS: Flush your toilet with waste water from your sink! Without using a bucket!
- Blog It promises to update all your blogs from within Facebook.
- TeachStreet. We like the concept of linking students to teachers. The Beta is limited to Seattle, which explains the beer making and How to Use Microsoft classes.
- The Sea Level Rise Explorer uses the Google Maps terrain feature. Looks like Portland won't get too wet...
- Salesforgle. OK, we made that up, but the integration between Salesforce.com and Google Apps shows great promise.
- Tired of wearing the same clothes everyday? Use Rehash to swap with others -- everything from "Cute Black Top" to "Faux Snakeskin Eyeglass Case" -- rather than buying new.
- "Rebooting America: Democracy in the 21st Century". There's still time to submit your own work for inclusion in the anthology.
Hi Brett,
Thanks for including TeachStreet on the list (and a double thanks for the category links!)
Since NTEN has a nonprofit bent, I'd be remiss if I didn't give a shout-out for a nonprofit's that near to my heart -- if you haven't checked out Unitus, I recommended you and your readers do so. They're a fantastic nonprofit located in Seattle (and India), and just launched a major site redesign, and have some Mother's Day events upcoming, as well as an affiliation with The Police's summer concert tour.
Onward!
