A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.

  1. 42 Ways Not To Make Trash. We believe No Impact Man may be the reincarnation of Too Much Coffee Man.
  2. 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?
  3. 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."
  4. WaterSaver Technology's AQUS: Flush your toilet with waste water from your sink! Without using a bucket!
  5. Blog It promises to update all your blogs from within Facebook.
  6. 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.
  7. The Sea Level Rise Explorer uses the Google Maps terrain feature. Looks like Portland won't get too wet...
  8. Salesforgle. OK, we made that up, but the integration between Salesforce.com and Google Apps shows great promise.
  9. 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.
  10. "Rebooting America: Democracy in the 21st Century". There's still time to submit your own work for inclusion in the anthology.
