February 2006 Edition of Nonprofit Online News Journal

The February 2006 Edition of the Journal is out, with two knowledge management articles, email design guidelines, blogging policies, a perspective on nonprofit journalism, and an exploration of the growing movement of progressive, spiritually motivated activists. Our quicksheet this month starts to develop a model for understanding weblog marketing. We have short reviews of three outstanding books and our usual news items, with a sad emphasis on the growing threat to U.S civil society in the forms of censorship and spying.

Corporate Citizenship Glossary

Maplecroft is a consulting firm that focuses on "Corporate Social Responsibility". Although I personally believe that genuine responsibility is probably not possible within the framework of global corporate law and economics, I respect some of the work of this firm. I particularly like their Corporate Citizenship Glossary. It is a set of topical maps and indexed terms covering major global issues. It is perhaps damning them with faint praise to applaud them for their straightforward handling of the global warming issue, but in this era of the big lie, we'll take what we can get. There is some good work here, which I'm pleased to see them make available beyond their corporate clientele. I particularly enjoyed the maps, of course.

A Quick Survey of the Blog Manifestos

I've always enjoyed Kathryn Cramer's analytical mind (rich in insight, irony, and systems thinking), so when she sets herself to the task of understanding her blogging methodology, I pay attention. She starts out with A Quick Survey of the Blog Manifestos. She collects a number of seminal documents from 2002 and 2003 and annotates them with wit and reason.
