Overseas Job Centre | Gap Year, Seasonal Work, Working Holidays & Jobs Abroad the universal Tag Editor (ID3v1, ID3v2, APEv2) 8 Tips to Design a Charity Website A lot of charities rely on voluntary funding. This funding is carefully distributed and there are often more important things ahead of a generous budget for the website. So how does a charity get the most out of its website? It needs to let users find out information about the charity, but the main objective of the site is to get people involved with the charity, usually resulting in the user donating money. In this article, we look at 8 principles that you should follow when creating a charity website. What makes a good charity website? 1. A quick tagline to sum up what the charity (or charitable event) is about. 2. Let your users know what you do with their money once they sponsor. 3. Help users identify and visualize the people they’ll be helping. 4. The donate button is most likely the most important asset of a charity website so it should be prominent and obvious. 5. If the website is for a specific charitable event, show how much the charity’s raised to date. 6. 7. 8. Save the Children
del.icio.us Plans To Become A Social Network I recently interviewed del.icio.us founder Joshua Schachter, who is now with Yahoo after the popular social bookmarking service was acquired last December. Joshua was recently named as top innovator of the year by MIT Technology Review Magazine. Tagging is one example of an innovation that del.icio.us pioneered (at least in its current form). Joshua told me that "del.icio.us was the first app to showcase tagging" and that now "practically everyone uses tags in the [del.icio.us] system in some form." But Joshua has bigger plans for del.icio.us - it will essentially turn into a social network, with more focus on people instead of data. "One of the amazing things about our users is how smart and far-reaching their interests are. This points to a social networking future for del.icio.us, perhaps more so than a content bookmarking one (which it currently is). delicious already has a 'Your network' feature, but that basically just connects users' bookmarks.
stopdesign Who Writes Wikipedia? (Aaron Swartz's Raw Thought) I first met Jimbo Wales, the face of Wikipedia, when he came to speak at Stanford. Wales told us about Wikipedia’s history, technology, and culture, but one thing he said stands out. “The idea that a lot of people have of Wikipedia,” he noted, “is that it’s some emergent phenomenon — the wisdom of mobs, swarm intelligence, that sort of thing — thousands and thousands of individual users each adding a little bit of content and out of this emerges a coherent body of work.”† But, he insisted, the truth was rather different: Wikipedia was actually written by “a community … a dedicated group of a few hundred volunteers” where “I know all of them and they all know each other”. Really, “it’s much like any traditional organization.” The difference, of course, is crucial. So did the Gang of 500 actually write Wikipedia? Stanford wasn’t the only place he’s made such a claim; it’s part of the standard talk he gives all over the world. At Stanford the students were skeptical. Excellent article.
Tim Patrick's Web Site America is a uniquely blessed nation. In terms of natural resources, cultural diversity, and basic liberty, the United States has experienced a short yet rich life unparalleled by any other country throughout history. Many citizens see these blessings as something to share with other peoples, making real the “City on a Hill” first mentioned in 1630 by Puritan John Winthrop, one of the earliest orators to comment on America’s influential role. Unfortunately, there are American citizens who have a difficult time seeing these blessings, and others who, though they may recognize them, are unable to articulate why it is that we find ourselves with such benefits. The majority of the book contrasts the American value system with its two modern competitors: Leftism and Islamism. For Prager, Leftism is not a tired relic of a failed Soviet Union, but a living movement that is voracious in its appetite for the control of people’s lives and hearts.
