 <title>Should You Use Couchsurfing.com To Make Small-NPO Business Travel Less Costly?</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/alexsteed/should-you-use-couchsurfingcom-make-small-npo-business-travel-less-costly</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;I have returned from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://millennialschangingamerica.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Millennials Changing America Tour&lt;/a&gt; and aside from being a bit tired from it all and the suffering of a minor bronchial infection, I am feeling good about the whole ordeal. When planning the trip, which took me to over 30 cities across the country, I thought that it would be interesting to set up the majority of my housing in each city by way of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.couchsurfing.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Couchsurfing&lt;/a&gt; so that I could save money and spend time meeting people in my downtime as well as when talking with people on the road. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/alexsteed/should-you-use-couchsurfingcom-make-small-npo-business-travel-less-costly&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Use Web2.0 Tools to Raise Money for Your Organization</title>
 <link>http://www.netsquared.org/blog/rich-reader/use-web2-0-tools-raise-money-your-organization</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Before committing resources to particular milestones &amp;amp; objectives for a fundraising campaign that employs groups, events, and applications on Facebook, OpenSocial, and other platforms, test (AB testing) the relative appeal of various assets (themes, messages, actors, stories, text, images, video, wikis, audio, speakers) and tools for your campaign on a representative sample of your target audience/engaged membership.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some set of elements fit together and perform as a whole better than others. Find out which combinations create the best results. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once testing is complete, estimate: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netsquared.org/blog/rich-reader/use-web2-0-tools-raise-money-your-organization&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
