google + creative commons + techsoup = wholesome goodness

Thought you all might be interested to know that all Creative Commons content published on TechSoup and ConsultantCommons is being index by Google -- which means our nonprofit friends can easily search our sites for articles they can republish.

To use the search, start here: http://creativecommons.org/find/ Limit your search to a specific site by using the "site:techsoup.org" qualifier in your search query, like so:

site:techsoup.org blogging

site:techsoup.org interplast

site:techsoup.org security

You get back a list of articles relating to those topics, all of which nonprofits can reuse in their training materials, reprint on their Web sites, use in presentations, etc., etc. Have fun, do good!

Awesome - but is the content on net2 site creative commons?

I was glad to read this posting about creative commons, as it's something that I got into recently. The more advocacy around creative commons, especially in the nonprofit and advocacy sector, the better! 

But when you look at the footer of all net2 pages right now, you see this:

© 2005 TechSoup, CompuMentor. All rights reserved. 

Ordinarily, creative commons licenses have a footer like this:   

Creative Commons License The content on this page is licensed under a
Creative Commons License.

 

I hope this can be change ASAP! Information wants to be free!  

Cheers,

Tobias
