(Note: This is a weekly round-up of NTEN members doing and sharing their nptech awesome. Members are in bold. Tag your own news with "nten member" or "nptech" to help us find your awesome online, or contact Annaliese with your updates.)

Amy Sample Ward blogs about a new report on nonprofit's use of social media, summarizing the findings and adding a few insights and tips of her own. Thank you for sharing, Amy!

ReadWriteWeb wants to point out the "social media for good" organizations that deliver on the "good" part, not just the social media. Congratulations to The Extrordinaries, Kiva, and Inveneo for bringing the good with the socmed! Many folks chime in with comments to add their votes, and we're happy to see all the NTEN members listed: Care2, TechSoup, and Idealware -- and thanks to those of you who mentioned NTEN!

OneAmerica (formerly Hate Free Zone) launched a new website this week. Congratulations!

Nancy Schwartz summarizes some findings from her latest survey about nonprofit communications, and you might be surprised!

Judy Hallman, organizer for the 501 Tech Club in the Triangle, N.C. region, better known as NCTech4Good, shared news about the volunteer work their group did last month on MLK Day with the United Way. Inspiring work -- and pictures!

And I can't resist thanking all the NTEN folks who are helping us and Convio send over 50 nonprofit staff to the 10NTC who wouldn't be able to be there otherwise! See how you can get involved (and what NTEN staff will put on the line to help!) here.
