Nonprofit Online News Journal January 2005

This month's issue of Nonprofit Online News Journal (34 page PDF) is continuing in the direction we have already set: We are reprinting my article on The 2004 Election and The Nonprofit Sector, which includes links to scores of resources on the impact of the current U.S. administration on many of the major categories of nonprofit organizations. We are also reprinting some of the best reports and articles that we pointed to recently: (1) Communication For Peace: Contrasting Approaches, (2) How To Include the Poor In Community Events, and (3) How Nonprofit Careerism Derailed the “Revolution”. We have compiled all 44 of the annotated resources from the month of January, which includes two book reviews. Posted: 2/10/05; 5:56:14 PM #

The Economics of Sharing
	The Economist has published a nice little piece on The Economics of Sharing. While it's always entertaining to me to watch economists try to explain everything through the narrow lens of greed, it pleased me to see reciprocity and networks extolled in this article. Still, I think the nonprofit world has a better handle on the concept. Posted: 2/10/05; 5:11:21 PM #

PaperLens conference topic visualization

There is some interesting research that Microsoft is doing on "Visualization and Interaction for Business and Entertainment". I found the Paper Lens (Flash animation) project particularly interesting in the way it helps the eye pick up patterns of topics of interest over the course of many gatherings of a community of practice. It was developed to reveal trends, connections, and activity throughout a conference community. Posted: 2/10/05; 5:04:26 PM #
