Tech4Impact - an email newsletter still going strong! (no foolin'!)

Tech4Impact is my free email newsletter, started back in early 2001. Each month, I use Tech4Impact to help nonprofits, non-governmental organizations/NGOs, civil society organizations, public sector agencies, schools and other mission-based organizations, and the people who support them, to use computer and Internet tools. The monthly newsletter also lists all of the topics that have been covered in my blog since the last publication (and, therefore, if you subscribe to my blog, no need to subscribe to the newsletter). I tried to get rid of it once and replace it entirely with this blog; that did NOT go over well with subscribers!
Tech4Impact is less about techno-jargon and more about the human factors in using computer and networking technology successfully to benefit people, communities and the environment. You do not have to be a "techie" to read and benefit from the newsletter -- at least that's my hope. It's a newsletter for anyone working at or with a nonprofit, NGO, etc. -- marketing staff, program staff, executives, board members and other volunteers, etc.
If you subscribe to my blog, there's no need to subscribe to Tech4Impact, since all of the information published in it is also published here, along with much more information (on volunteering/volunteerism, communications for nonprofits, aid and development topics of particular interest to me, etc.).
However, if you still don't know how RSS works (in order to subscribe to the blog), if you just aren't really interested in using RSS, or if you prefer to receive information via email (many people still do!), then I hope you will subscribe to Tech4Impact. Because I use YahooGroups to host the newsletter, you can read Tech4Impact in either via email or the web, your choice. If you want to read the newsletter via email, just send a BLANK e-mail to:
tech4impact-subscribe@yahoogroups.comThe email addresses of those who subscribe are used exclusively for the distribution of Tech4Impact; these email addresses are not sold or traded to any other organization. Unsubscribe information is included in every newsletter.
