Free clinics are nonprofit organizations that use volunteer health professionals to provide free or low cost health care to uninsured individuals. Free clinics need a patient registration system to input demographic and clinical data on their patients--but free of the insurance and billing complexity found in commercial products. Also these commercial products are too costly for most free clinics.
RSS-to-SMS tool that lets nonprofits pipe news to supporters' cell phones by using their outbound RSS feeds.
Right now if a site aggregates multiple searches or strings as RSS feeds (e.g. Yahoo! news alerts for both "nonprofit technology" and "nonprofit Internet") it is likely to aggregate the same item multiple times.
It'd be great to have a service that culls duplicate items from a local site (the site doing the aggregating) rather than just offering the option of rolling multiple RSS feeds into a single feed, because an aggregating site may want to set up different feeds different ways (e.g. assigning specific tags to all items in a given feed).
The idea is for nonprofits to be able to easily find a wide range of content they are entitled to repurpose and/or republish. This feature could refine the Creative Commons search feature in Flickr (allowing nonprofits to do a single search to see ALL content they can reuse by checking the relevant checkboxes) but extend it to all content in the Yahoo! family, generating a single RSS feed from the output.
