Things you can do with manseo
If you would like to add your own links in the future, please go to the MANSEO search page. At that page, you can add yourself as a contributor.
Google provides Google Marker so you can add a site just by clicking a link on your toolbar. Check it out. It works just like del.icio.us and all the other social bookmarking widgets.
You can add manseo to your Google homepage by clicking on 
. It’s pretty slick.
I took the entire Nonprofit Blog Exchange blogroll and my previous non-profit technology websites and rolled them up into one. I then went through and added refinements to the blogs. This means that I had to go through the entire list of sites and categorize them based on the following categories:
- for_fundraisers
- for_marketers
- for_techies
- for_managers
- for_advocates
- personal_blogs
- nonprofit_advocacy_blogs
I think additional refinements can be created by contributors to manseo but I don’t know that for a fact. If you wish suggest refinements, you can always e-mail abenamer['at']nonprofittechblog.org.
I’m not quite done yet but I think I’ve only got 20 blogs left to categorize. I’ve also started playing around with the AJAX Search API that is now able to access custom search engines. I have to say it doesn’t work so well but you can take a look at it by going to the future manseo page.
Update (11/18/2006):
179 links are now in the search engine. There are now six collaborators to the engine. There is also a Google Group for manseo.

What happened to Search-O-Rama? Loved the kitsch name. Will be sadly missed.
Great job with the new search engine though!

Oh i don’t know anything “mother of all” will be considered kitschy a few years from now. Thanks for the comment though and don’t forget that you can now add your own URLs to the engine yourself.
What is my incentive?
Ha! You get to play with a new bookmarklet, Google Marker. You get to play with putting the search engine on your Google home page. You get to add whatever the heck you want about nonprofit STUFF (not just tech) to the engine.
I’m not adding every nonprofit into the engine. I’m only adding resources in general that apply to specific audiences within the nonprofit community. I’m looking to do the things that Google itself doesn’t do well (audience specificity and subjects that tend to be obscured by English language usage like “nonprofit advocacy blogs”. That would be almost impossible to find via Google… BTW, how do you like my new nested comments? Ready to switch to WordPress yet? hehe
