New Del.icio.us Tag to Help the Resource Roundup

by Laura S. Quinn

I previously posted about our troubles in trying to keep the Resource Roundup going – thanks to everyone for their thoughts and comments about we can best continue! Several of you mentioned that an Idealware tag would help everyone in the Idealware community to highlight articles and other resources that might be of particular interest to rest of the community.

So let’s do it! Can you help, by tagging Idealware relevant resources in del.icio.us with an “idealware” tag? (I think it makes sense to consolidate in del.icio.us right now, so we can all see all the links without the investment and complication of aggregation…).

You can see the things that we’ve collected at http://del.icio.us/tag/idealware (I’ve seeded it with a few things, but hope to see lots of stuff there soon!)

I'm hoping we can use this tag to share high quality resources that:
  • Review, compare or list software of interest to nonprofits
  • Provide guidance as to whether a certain kind of software makes sense for you
  • Help people assess what features they need in a particular kind of software
  • Give detailed case studies of nonprofits using or choosing software
  • Cover areas that aren’t web 2.0. Big brownie points for good old web 1.0 stuff!
  • Otherwise give people guidance in choosing software (Idealware is focused on choosing software specifically)
Are there other things that you’d like to see included in an Idealware tag stream?

If you tag it, I will look at it, and if it’s about choosing software, I will link to it from the blog. And then I’ll round up the most pertinent stuff for our eNews. The full collection of everything that anyone has tagged will be available at http://del.icio.us/tag/idealware

So – please tag anything that seems Idealware relevant with an Idealware tag in del.icio.us! And spread the word!

Laura, this is great. I've subscribed to the tag's RSS feed in Google Reader.

By the way, I hope it's not verboten to submit one of my own blog entries!

Thanks so much, David! You've already turned me on to some great resources I hadn't seen.

And yes, please feel free to tag your own posts - if it's high quality info that will help nonprofits choose software, we want it!
