At it Again: Austin 501 Tech Club Teams Up to Deploy Social Media for Good

We recently bragged about how the NTEN 501 Tech Club in Austin helped get social media users involved in the Capital Area Food Bank food drive. Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike, they've teamed up with other tech-savvy do-gooders to deploy a 5-day online donation campaign.

Using widgets and friend-to-friend appeals through social networks, they hope to raise $5,000 in 5 days. (Thanks to @SusanReynolds for the heads-up!).
