NPTech News recently spoke with Lee Brenner, MySpace.com's executive producer of political programming and director of the nonprofit oriented Impact section at MySpace.
Nonprofit Technology News: What kind of applications and other assistance do you provide to nonprofits?

Convio is capitalizing on two hot trends in the nonprofit universe: SaaS and Web 2.0 social networking.
In 1999, Vinay Bhagat volunteered at a local public broadcasting station and soon found himself passing written messages when people called in. The quickly jotted notes contained little information about the donors and that troubled Bhagat.

Based on that research Convio delivered its first online constituent relationship management products in July 2000. Read more...
