As many of you may or may not know by participating in the NetSquared network, TechSoup.org has been a technology resource for over 400,000 (!) nonprofits and libraries since its inception in 2000. We want you to be among the first to know about the soon-to-be-released effort to make the site and services even better.

S.O.U.P.

Thanks to help from Microsoft and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation, TechSoup.org has begun a Site Overhaul and Update Project (S.O.U.P.). Throughout the coming year, they'll be making lots of improvements, the first of which you'll see soon!

Phase 1 of S.O.U.P. will launch in late August with an easier-to-use home page design, improved search functionality and results pages, and a single sign-in for U.S. registered users.   U.S. subscribers will receive more detailed information and new log-in details (non-U.S. subscribers will not be affected) soon.

Phase 1 improvements are just the beginning.

Since not everything will update all at once, things may get a little confusing, but rest assured, we're making TechSoup work harder and smarter than ever before. Once the first phase launches, we'll invite your feedback and comments if you encounter any problems.

Visit the TechSoup.org site for a full letter from co-CEO Marnie Webb, to learn more about the S.O.U.P. Project and coming improvements.
