Handling social media for your organization can sometimes feel like a component of work that is difficult to control and too time-consuming to do well. New trends and tools are constantly popping up, as are comments and conversations that require responses.

Join TechSoup for a webinar about how to start a program at your nonprofit to refurbish computers. Learn how to get good refurbishable equipment donations and how to economically set up an operation that is suitable to your budget and the space you have.

Tech Soup, the "mother" of NetSquared, has just launched a Net Neutrality toolkit to help you get more info. about both sides of the issue. You can also discuss Net Neutrality in the Tech Soup forums.

if you are for Net Neutrality, Save the Internet, has lots of actions you can take as well as a map that tell you which Senators are for or against Net Neutrality.

In preparation for, and as part of Tech Soup's Wikis and Nonprofits online event, they've set up a wiki where you can ask Adam Frey of Wikispaces questions before the event, and experiment with using a wiki.

You can also hear Adam on the NetSquared Conference panel, "Hey, Teacher, Leave Those Kids Alone: The Decentralization of Expertise and the Creation of Community Knowledge Bases," on the NetSquared podcast. 

Want to know more about how TechSoup is working in Second Life, and how they produced the "mixed-reality" Net Tuesday that took place in Second Life and in San Francisco?   Check out David Collin's  interview on the NetSquared podcast with Tech Soup's Online Community Manager, Susan Tenby, and Salvador Luna, Desktop Support at CompuMentor.
