Net2ThinkTank: Nonprofits & NGOs UsIng Mobile Phones and SMS for Social Change

This month's Net2ThinkTank questions was:

How Can Nonprofits and NGOs Use Mobile Phones and SMS for Social Change?

Ken Banks of Kiwanja.net, submitted the post, Social Mobile and the Long Tail. You can listen to Ken Banks' presentation at Net Tuesday San Francisco and David Collins' interview with Ken on the NetSquared Podcast.

Sokari at Kabissa posted about Ken this month in the post, Ken Banks at the Mobile World Congress

You also might want to read the Pan African Mobile Activist Network (PAMOMNet)'s notes from The Mobile World Congress.

Katrin Verclas and Corey Ramey at MobileActive submitted a multitude of useful posts covering a range of ways nonprofits and NGOs can use mobile technology for their work:

CharityDrives.org Goes Mobile

 
I have an update from the people at Charitydrives.org to add to the post I wrote about them last month.  Now you can find places to donate stuff using Charitydrives.org from your cell phone.  According to the site, all you have to do is to enter charitydrives.org/mobile into your phone-based web browser, enter your zip code, press Find and voilá, you'll see a list of charity drives within 15 miles of your zip code.

You no longer have an excuse for having a random bag of clothes/books/CDs, in your trunk for 6 months Smile
