The NpTech Tag Stream brought in a number of photos, videos, and podcasts and yes, lots of blog posts, including some live blogging from conferences. Halloween is coming up next week so this post about what geeks give out for Halloween is timely (example: orange index card imprinted with URL of your Halloween video on YouTube.) Finally, the word "micro" kept popping up in very seemingly unconnected ways.
Micro-what?
An excellent new resource on the topic of micro-philthanthropy from Peter Deitz who has published First-of-its-kind, a web site that promotes small-scale giving and research and filled with useful comparisons of tools, case studies, and other resources. The Somewhat Frank blog gives us a list of other micro ways groups can contribute their time or moral support.
