Who are the Smartest Orgs Online in 2007?

I received an email recently asking if we would be creating a Smartest Orgs Online Squidoo list for 2007 like we did in 2006. As far as I know, we aren't, but you never know.

Given what we know about nonprofits and the social web now, I'm curious which organizations you think should be included on the list that weren't included last year.

The top 10 orgs (out of the 59 listed) that received the most votes were: Greenpeace, Kiva, Modest Needs, New York City Coalition Against Hunger, WorldChanging, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Ferrets Unlimited Ferret Shelter, ASPCA, Doctor Without Borders and the ONE Campaign.

Here was the criteria:

These charities were chosen for their excellence in online storytelling and collaboration with their donors. We didn't play favorites to one cause over another, nor did we look at their fundraising goals or number of members. Instead, these organizations are winners because of their web 2.0 smarts and a willingness to engage their constituents far beyond asking them to dig into their pockets.

These are organizations that give their volunteers and members a voice and get out of the way. They're pros at mobilizing awareness online. They're experimentors. Innovators. On a mission. They're fearless.

Who would you add to the list in 2007?

Smartest Org = AIDG.org

I have to nominate AIDG.org - one of the coolest little orgs with a fantastic blog.  Their site exemplifies what you can do on a shoestring budget and web 2.0 ingenuity.  Full disclosure: they're an Echoing Green Fellow.
