NetSquared - "remixing the web for social change"

NetSquared or "Net2" is an organization that helps educate folks in non profits to use Web 2.0 social networking tools.

Here's what they say:
"Net2 is created by TechSoup, a project of CompuMentor. Our organization has worked directly with non-profits for nearly two decades, providing direct assistance, web-based knowledge and resources, and donated technology.

Our mission is to spur responsible adoption of social web tools by social benefit organizations. There's a whole new generation of online tools available – tools that make it easier than ever before to collaborate, share information and mobilize support. These tools include blogs, wikis, RSS feeds, podcasting, and more. Some people describe them as "Web 2.0"; we call them the social web, because their power comes from the relationships they enable."

They have an annual invitational conference to help projects link up with funding. This year's will be in May in San Jose.

You can register and voting closes March 24 -- if you do, vote for SquarePeg!! My nephew is involved with that project.
