**There’s so much going on in the digital fundraising world and only so much time
that I can find to blog about it. To help keep-up, I thought it would be useful 
to include a round-up of items that I’ve come across over the last month but haven’t
been able to include full posts on. Hope you find it interesting – and useful…**

1. News of two innovative approaches to get people engaged in online advocacy (including
a Second Life Guantanamo) from Beth Kanter’s ever interesting blog in [Tear It Down and Virtual Guantanamo](http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/09/tear-it-down-an.html)

2. Also from Beth, an [update on the global support for the Burma protesters](http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2007/09/more-on-burma--.html)
encompassing all forms of online channels.

3. In [Should Facebook have banished Ranger Rick?](http://thegreenmiles.blogspot.com/2007/08/should-facebook-have-banished-ranger.html)
The Green Miles reported on the heated debate over Facebook’s refusal to let Ranger
Rick, the beloved persona of the US National Wildlife Federation, keep his Facebook
profile – on the basis that only a real person can have a profile. I’ve spotted 
at least one UK charity which still seems to have a profile in place (cancer care,
girls name, no more clues..) – so why pick on Rick?

4. Soha El-Borno provided a really handy review of her [top 10 easy-to-use web poll and survey tools for your blog and website](http://www.wildapricot.com/blogs/newsblog/archive/2007/09/06/looking-for-a-good-cheap-web-polling-service.aspx)

5. Nancy Schwartz hosted a great [blog carnival](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_carnival)
on [How to use video online to strengthen your nonprofit marketing impact](http://www.gettingattention.org/my_weblog/2007/09/how-to-strength.html)

6. Finally, some very worthwhile reading and food for thought from London-based 
non-profit thinktank [nfpSynergy](http://www.nfpsynergy.net), which made its great
report on The 21st Century Donor available for free download.
