I have been brewing the idea for this blog for some months now, and the vision is finally becoming clear to me.
There is a burgeoning community of bloggers and nonprofit technology consultants who are creating tools to help build social change movements. Every day there are new resources on the Internet. I am most interested in the tools that leverage information as a catalyst for progress and philanthropy.
In these postings I will share my experience, opinions, and questions about emerging information technology, and what I learn from others in the nonprofit industry. I will write about movements and issues that are near and dear to me, and how my colleagues and I are using information technology to raise awareness and promote philanthropy to support those causes.
I have been researching and dabbling from the sidelines, meeting virtually and in person people whose work I admire. I’ve dipped my toes in, and now I’m taking the plunge with this blog.

This post of yours resonates with me pretty intensely as it follows or parallels what our organization is working towards. What ever happened with it – did you take the plunge? It’s nice to see good ideas brewing. Perhaps if you stumble upon our site or blog you could share some comments or ideas.
Either way: all the best.
