You’d think with the election over, we would shut up about Obama’s internet strategy - but not so much. Because it turns out that an oft-quoted statistic about his campaign isn’t quite right. See, I went around telling everyone that small donors formed the bulk of his campaign contributions. I bragged about how the internet had made it possible to mobilize huge numbers of regular folk, who gave small amounts of their hard earned cash until, together, they put Obama in the White House! Power to the people, baby!

A nice story, but according to a study of his campaign finances, not exactly true.

hi i am vishal.iam just up with the project and wud submit within these two days.i have doubt whether i can team up with another member of my same institute to finish this one.

Hi. I just submitted a proposal to the USAID Development 2.0 Challenge called "Social Networking to Improve Advice on Development Priorities to Incoming Administration".  USAID rightly champions the principles of good governance as fundamental conditions for successful development - principles of transparency, participation of stakeholders in decision making, and access to information, for example.  I want your help to turn the spotlight back on USAID and give it the chance to bask in some governance goodness.  I think that social networking tools could help heighten the dialogue on priorities for foreign assistance in the US.

Each month, social changemakers and technological forerunners come together at Net Tuesday events around the world to mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships, and reinforce our online NetSquared community.  These monthly events offer a great opportunity for people from all stretches of social change and social media to collaborate, whether you're a developer, innovator, programmer, entrepreneur or part of a nonprofit organization.  The Phoenix Net Tuesday is looking for a new organizer and hoping you're it!

Despite the holiday schedule, we witnessed an explosion of reports, articles and presentations over the last seven days on how the online philanthropic landscape is shifting. In this round up, you'll find links to material from The Hewlett Foundation, The MacAurther Foundation, The Mozilla Foundation, MSNBC, Cone Inc, Beth Kanter, Tom Watson, TechCrunch, and more.

I was just revisiting some conversations I had with Robin Parker, blog master / communications specialist at the Oregon Trail Chapter of the American Red Cross, while I was in Portland, Oregon. I flipped through her blog and found one of the most sticky posts I have read in a long, long while. It's an interview with Portland Rain. That's right - an interview with weather. But first, some background:

This is your last week to submit ideas to the 2008 USAID Development 2.0 Challenge.

While sitting down to copious piles of stuffing yesterday, I actually did take some time and thought about the things for which I am thankful (my girlfriend’s endless patience, the music of Will Oldham, wine and family holidays). To be honest, I feel a little 1.0, if you wiil, for not yet having made that public.
