Google Blogger Mosaic Dynamic View
Google, as part of its ongoing and much-needed overhaul of its popular Blogger platform, has just enabled five dynamic, HTML5ish, AJAXy 'Dynamic Views'. There's a video introducing the new layouts after the break.
The five new views provide fresh and interesting ways to explore your favorite Blogger blogs. The Mosaic view, for example, creates a wall of thumbnails -- click one, and it zooms to fill the screen; click it again and it minimizes. Flipcard is similar to Mosaic, but not quite as eclectic. Sidebar, Timeslide and Snapshot round off the new views, with each one obviously targeted at different types of content, from photo blogs, to text-only philosophy blogs, and everything in between."

Giving to disaster relief is as easy as your nearest ATM | StarTribune.com
Giving to disaster relief is as easy as your nearest ATM | StarTribune.com: "Wells Fargo customers logging into ATM machines this month found a new option on their screens. Next to the box that says 'Deposit Cash' is one saying 'Donate to Charity.'

The experiment marks the first time ATM machines have been used nationwide -- by any bank -- to raise money for a charity, say national banking officials."

With training budgets being squeezed, e-learning should be coming into its own. Online training enables organisations to eliminate travel and accommodation costs and keep staff in the office, and employees benefit by learning at any pace and at any time. But how widely are charities embracing online learning and what options are available?"

Online Surveys Get You Feedback
Online Surveys Get You Feedback: "Online Surveys Get You Feedback
By Yann Toledano
What do your constituents think about your programs and services? What kinds of activities are your donors likely to fund? Should your organization initiate a new program?
Rather than resort to using telepathic powers or mind reading, an online survey is a powerful research tool that can deliver the feedback you need.
