ReadWriteWeb get giving

There's a really nice piece about our US cohorts Firstgiving, over on the very popular ReadWriteWeb blog.

"Who would you feel more comfortable giving to, a stranger knocking on your door asking for money for some organization, or a web site set up by that same stranger, working with an accredited non-profit and soliciting donations through an 8 year old company that has a track record of raising millions for non-profit groups?"

Well, quite.

There's been lots of great posts on fundraising and donating online over the course of this week, including posts about the potential of online, non-profits on Facebook and MySpace and many more.

Incidentally we are still rocking it on Facebook:

The Next Big Thing is only just around the corner...

Hello,

I just posted some analysis of Facebook's impact on the charity sector in general, and Just Giving in particular, that you may be interested in.
