Not about prospect research, but I found this story very interesting.

The Chronicle of Philanthropy reports that Thompson Child & Family Focus (a charity
providing educational services and care to families in the USA) raised more than
$4,000 at its annual dinner by setting up a table for people who use Twitter. People
at the Twitter table were provided with laptops to send out fund-raising tweets (
Tweet a 20), to drive traffic to a fundraising page on the charity’s website. Thompson
could thereby reach thousands of potential donors beyond the hotel ballroom where
the luncheon was held

Subscribers to The Chronicle of Philanthropy can read the full report to learn more
about the campaign and how it worked, and you can access a report via the charity
website.
