How Open APIs Can Change How Nonprofits Manage Data
Nonprofits manage lots of data: research, files, data on constituents, donors, and clients, etc. Choosing
software to manage this organizational data is difficult enough. Getting applications to talk to one another
in ways that are efficient and in support of the organization’s mission is even harder. Application Programming
Interfaces or APIs provide a way to simplify data management tasks. Software vendors and open
source software projects are increasingly using APIs to help their customers/users increase the extensibility
and integration possibilities of their software. This paper examines the problem that APIs try to solve, technologies
behind APIs, vendor strategies, and examples of things you can do with APIs.

Everything You Need to Know About Web 2.0
"Web 2.0 is a category of new Internet tools and technologies created around the idea that the people who consume media, access the Internet, and use the Web shouldn't passively absorb what's available; rather, they should be active contributors, helping customize media and technology for their own purposes, as well as those of their communities. These new tools include, but are by no means limited to, blogs, social networking applications, RSS, social networking tools, and wikis. On this page, you'll find articles on a variety of Web 2.0 tools and technologies."

J.D. Lasica goes over the basic ground you need to cover to get your story told.
