A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts on our blog.
- Trying to figure out how Microsoft's Gianpaolo Carraro came up with the probabilities in his 2007 SaaS predictions. Does he have a special piece of unreleased prognostication software?
- Do Something's Karma Tycoon. Do hosted games qualify as SaaS? Play KT with some friends and you won't care: it's like a great boardgame, without the need to keep track of the pieces or the score. Be sure to check out the URL behind their Teachers' Curricula, as well.
- The Pearl of the Alps. Get it? Looks like a great interface with nature.
- The iPhone. There's no shame in it: the iPhone practically qualifies as a hardware mashup. NTEN gave away an iPhone at NTC 2007, and winner Ron Piccinini of Larkin Street Youth Services says, "It's the gadget that I dreamed of two years ago: integration of MP3 player, smart phone, and internet browser. Thanks to Apple and especially NTEN for the hook up!"
- Almost as fun as the iPhone itself are the homages disguised as parodies, from Comedy Central (expected) to the New York Times (good for them) to Fake Steve Jobs (huh?).
