It’s no secret that blogs are big. Technorati, which tracks blogs, has identified 63.2 million and reports 175,000 new blogs daily and more than 18 updates every second. And blogging has certainly arrived in the nonprofit sector. According to Technorati, more than 10,500 of these blogs are tagged with the term “charity,” while more than 4,000 are tagged “nonprofit,” and close to 2,300 are tagged “philanthropy.”"

Czechs are the first to make charitable gifts by text message - 18-01-2007 - Radio Prague
Czechs are the first to make charitable gifts by text message - 18-01-2007 - Radio Prague: "Czechs are the first to make charitable gifts by text message
[18-01-2007] By Ilya Marritz
Like most small nations, Czechs are proud of their inventions. Pilsner beer, the word 'robot' and even the soft contact lens are some of the contributions made to world culture and science by Czechs. A more recent technological innovation, the DMS, or Donors Message Service, is a big success inside the Czech Republic, and the inventors think it will soon catch on elsewhere too.
Last year, Czechs gave 38 million crowns, or about 1.7 million dollars to a variety of non-profit and charitable groups, just by hitting SEND on their mobile phones. No licking envelopes, no reading credit card numbers over the phone.
Veronika Bruhova is project coordinator of the donor's message service at the Czech Donors Forum. She says the DMS, really just a variant on the SMS or text message, is the most technologically-advanced way to make a charitable gift."

Spying for fun and nonprofits - The Boston Globe
Spying for fun and nonprofits - The Boston Globe: "Spying for fun and nonprofits
By Alex Beam, Globe Columnist | January 15, 2007
Last fall I was working on a column about National Public Radio and asked their spokeswoman for their most recent Internal Revenue Service Form 990. That is a report filed by all US nonprofit corporations -- schools, foundations, and even private clubs -- that provides details about their operations. I had heard there was a kerfuffle about high newsreaders' salaries at NPR."
