The January 2007 edition of Blackbaud's Fundraising Well newsletter is out, and it has some great tips and ideas on how to start moving your org towards taking advantage of web 2.0 technologies.

Utilizing Web 2.0

For the really tech-savvy

This newsletter is a maintenance benefit of being Blackbaud client, and I highly recommend you subscribe to it and all other newsletters they publish.

Currently I am not working in an environment that used rasiers edge but I would very much like to still get access to newsletters etc... do you know if there is a way?

Thanks,
Victoria

You can't

It is described as a "maintenance benefit" meaning that only paying clients get access to it.

But, if Peter - or someone else who receives it - posts links to it like he did below, those of us who don't receive it could still see it....

In that case, go hard. I had assumed it would ask you for a username and password.

If they don't block the newsletter then I feel pretty Zen about others seeing it

Did anyone read the article about Second Life? That's some pretty wild stuff. Cool actually. Fundraising in virtual reality ... now that's cutting edge!!

I just got an email from a fine lad at Blackbaud clarifying this whole siutation:

You just need to create an account on our Web site here: http://www.blackbaud.com/profile/adduser.aspx

Clients and prospects can also sign up to be a part of BlackbaudNews which is our main email, subscription list. Some of that content, like our News for the Development Office newsletter, is for clients only.

Thanks again though, and have a great weekend.
