If you were sad to hear that Amy Sample Ward was packing up and moving to London, cheer up!  She's sure to remain a great resource for information and inspiration as the new Community Builder for NetSquared. (And still a proud member of NTEN, no less :)

Long-time member and 2008 NTENny winner Steve Heye announced his new blog. He's now flying solo, after his work with the YMCAs.

Laura Quinn announced new contributors to the Idealware blog, which includes NTEN members Steve Backman, Peter Campbell, Heather Gardner-Madras, Eric Leland, and Michelle Murrain.

Convio announced their new SaaS CRM solution, Common Ground, built on the Salesforce Force.com platform.

The American Red Cross recently launched the ultimate social media campaign to support their $100 Million For Disaster Relief Fund. They're using a wiki to help their supporters catalog and deploy social media tools to increase word of mouth and donations.

The Sierra Club has a cool "How Green is My PC" online quiz you can take (and share with others). Thanks to TechSoup for the heads up!

Beth Kanter provides a great list of free resources to inform your Social Media strategies and proposals. She also has a helpful post and screencast for those of you coordinating wiki collaboration (or, as Beth puts it, "working wikily").

Finally, there's a great interview with NTEN's very own Executive Director, Holly Ross on the current makeup and work of the nonprofit technology community and where she sees it all going in the future.
