TechSoup has a simple and palatable guide that can help your nonprofit utilize web technologies! Check it out: http://ga0.org/ct/lpA8cj912XRD/
We're also launching a new feature called Net2Ask. If you or your organization faces challenges in understanding or implementing new web tools, drop us a line and let us know here: http://netsquared.org/catlist/list/2. We'll take your responses and build toolkits that will help make these tools more accessible and transparent for your nonprofit's work.
