Learn from Beth Kanter

> Beth has provided some great resources to the nonprofit tech community, recently. Her screencast on using the integration of Google Adwords with Salesforce, as reported in our blog, inspired Salesforce to put up a page on their site devoted to helping Google Grantees apply for a salesforce.com Foundation grant.

> Earlier, Beth put together a primer on Google Analytics screencast for NTEN, a terrific companion piece to our webinar featuring Google's very own Analytics Evangelist, Avinash Kaushik. Or, if you have a soft spot for old media, take a look at Avinash's book, Web Analytics: An Hour a Day. It's already earned a place on my desk.
