A monthly roundup of our favorite nonprofit tech resources. Read more posts in our blog.
- The "Wi-Fi Detector Shirt". They claim it displays wireless signal strength with glowing, animated bars, right there on the shirt. If this actually works, it's the Coolest Thing Ever we've seen this week.
- Sprout. Maybe you saw our Love Your Techie widget? Sprout has the potential to change the game.
- Heather Goes Bonkers when her organization wins $1000 from America's Giving Challenge. You've got to love the enthusiasm: if they had hit for $50k, this may have been inappropriate for the office.
- Is Obama a Mac and Clinton a PC? Does that make McCain a Xerox Alto
- Visualizing Information: An Introduction to Information Design. It's well designed!
- Miriam Engelberg lost her battle with cancer, but her comics live on.
- Seesmic. YouTube meets Twitter, eh? The company's founder describes himself as a "serial entrepreneur".
- DeviantArt. Never mind the name -- there are only a few furries. Social networking built around art is an interesting idea, if not original: Photo.net has allowed member interaction for years.
- Wired Magazine's infographic "The Life Cycle of a Blog Post", as featured in our blog.
- 5min's video tutorials, including "How to Rock", and the indispensable "How to Ignore Facebook App Invites".
