Resource round-up for October

This month’s resource round-up includes a resource for free webinars geared toward non-profits, an article outlining the difference between Facebook and Twitter and the misconception of Twitter as a “social network” and an article covering the evolution of non-profit websites, citing a Google Grantee as an example and detailing the role of technology in the way that non-profit websites will evolve in time.

Maximize year-end giving
Network for Good has a long list of free non-profit webinars to offer, including one to help maximize year-end giving to non-profits.


Social media explained
Mashable discusses the differences between Facebook and Twitter as social media and dispels the myth that Twitter is a social networking tool. This is helpful information for those organizations building social media campaigns for either outlet.


How non-profit websites have evolved
Citing a Google Grantee, Mercy Corps, as an example, this article on NTEN.org discusses how non-profit sites have evolved from single page presences to the multi-site and media-rich environments we know today with the progression of technology.
