About

Nonprofit technology, commonly tagged nptech, involves all aspects of nonprofits' online presence and digital approach. This includes both techies working within nonprofits, service and design firms that focus on nonprofits and social change organizations, and funders who focus on nonprofit-related technology.

Some of the topics of discussion include social media (YouTube, Flickr), online advocacy (Causes, Care2), peer-to-peer fundraising (Social Actions, DonorsChoose, ChipIn, SixDegrees and many more), member engagement through social networks (MySpace, Facebook) and general "web 2.0" approaches.
