Write about success stories. I would also like long term studies of benefits the projects (and project types – like microcredit), but I don’t think there are many. Point to such resources if they exist would be great. I found you and donated based on a blog entry on another blog http://ourdelhistruggle.com/2009/08/18/an-important-time-to-give/

Have you looked in google images under the same name for the original source?

Personally, I’d like to see ours look more like http://www.socialedge.org – where each staff member has their own topic to manage. Also- we’re going to try and post responses to the other blogs we read, and END the practice of forwarding them around the office via email with “read this”…

In today’s barren landscape ,the need of human beings in need remains.It is necessary to tend to it to get him over the bridge in these turbulent times,& get him settled .
So the need in gender based activities,poverty alleviation,health & food security,energy,climate change remains

I also think that you should use traffic, not number of comments, to judge the importance of the blog to the community. Also, if you’re not getting any comments, just turn comments off – if anyone wants to say something, we can just use email.
GlobalGiving is an extremely interesting and unique organization, and I’m sure that I’m not the only one who is curious about the details of day-to-day operations.

If you guys are seeing increased exposure and readership becasue of your blog, then I’d definitely keep it up.

It is also a good way to demostrate that you are staying ahead of the curve in the field of news and innovation in the realm of philanthropy.

We do have a facebook group, page and cause. I hope to see you (and others) there….
And we are literally finalizing some testing on the “facebook connect” option – so people will have the option to post their activity to their FB profile.
We’ll take a look a the Marin HS – the animal folks are using social media very effectively.
And on the blog – good point…we are working on ways to get more donor and project leader vibe in the mix. Check out http://www.globlagiving.com/inthefield for a small experiment.

Again, thanks!
