  Facebook changes the numbers! ChipIn, Facebook, Project Agape, change.org, nptech | (3)

  Jon Stahl points out that Facebook is no longer measuring apps by raw number of users but by their engagement. There's more info at the Facebook blog. So how does this play out for charity apps on Facebook? Well as of 10:38 PM EST on 8/29/2007, here are the stats for charity Facebook Apps: App Name % of active users Active users per day Firstgiving 14% 34 Causes 6% 203,182 Change.org 4% 288 Razoo Speed Granting 3% 207 Chipin 1% 39 Clearly, there's room for better user engagement within most of these charity apps.

  Hey ChipIn, you’re gettin’ Delled! ChipIn, nptech | (3)

  Chipin.com announced their new white-label initiative with Dell today. Students can now use a ChipIn widget to ask Mom, Dad, relatives and friends to contribute to their new Dell computer. After all, 17 and 18 year olds are like little nonprofits of their own. This is a great deal for ChipIn and shows that business services that help nonprofits can also be repurposed for the private sector too. It also means that concerns about ChipIn's long-term viability should be assuaged. Just so you know, ChipIn is past their angel round of financing and are currently in Series A round financing. ...

  I have in my inbox a hot new press release about Papilia and Chipin now doing an integration that meets each other over the Salesforce.com field. It's fascinating to see this kind of convergence: SAN FRANCISCO, CA and HONOLULU, HI – February 26, 2007 – Papilia, a pioneer in donor-centered fundraising solutions for nonprofit organizations, and ChipIn, the leading provider of Web 2.0-based social fundraising widgets for nonprofits, today announced a technology partnership to integrate their offerings within Papilia's donor engagement web-based application.

You see, there are hidden implications to my choice of technologies regarding the stack of stacks so let's go through these implications. I'm going to break down my reasons for each technology and hopefully, you the nonprofit IT worker can muddle your way through my hurried explanations: Continue Reading...

  Chipin.com starting to look at real revenue? ChipIn, Internet, Online Fundraising, Social Entrepreneurship, Startups, nptech | (0)

  Carnet's blog over at Chipin.com is hinting at changes in their revenue model: We are repositioning our product as a Widget Management System that is blowing the doors off our early clients. We have people who want to buy our system and who have plans to roll it out big time. Let’s say Kool-Aid high is starting to wear off as we dive deep into a nourishing meal of revenues and clients.

  Fundraising Widgets = Possible Phishing Attack ChipIn, Internet, Nonprofit 2.0, Online Fundraising, Security, nptech | (2)

  You know, I was wondering about the speed of implementation for all these badges and widgets appearing on the Web. I thought to myself, was it really that easy to create a me-too fundraising widget? What was the barrier of entry? I decided to discuss the technical specifications of the technology. Now, I'm an old Internet hand. I still remember finger and gopher. I've held not one but two jobs with the title of "webmaster" (blast from the past, huh?). However, I wouldn't call myself a security guru. Unfortunately, I found out within minutes that it's remarkably easy to reverse-engineer a ...

  Looks like Kintera beat GetActive to the punch… ChipIn, Internet, Kintera, Online Fundraising, nptech | (1)

  Sigh, I must be the PR person's bane. I overlooked Kintera's announcement yesterday and it seems that Kintera already replicated some of the chipin.com functionality. Kintera PR people, if you're out there, please send me the press releases directly so I don't have to rely on FeedDemon to do it for me. It even comes complete with the obligatory MySpace and Facebook name dropping that appeared in the GetActive release today. Continue Reading...
