NetSquared is wondering what it will do for nonprofits. And I’m wondering if we perhaps can use it for Helpalot.
If you have some ideas on how we can best make use of OpenSocial for Helpalot, please comment or send me a message on Helpalot.
We have our first version of ‘location’ on pages. People, charities and projects can set their location now.

Update 27 Oct. 2007
Now we have:
174 profiles
70 projects
75 charities
We improved the edit pages and some other details on Helpalot. Now the different parts are grouped by tabs in stead of a big scrolling page, making the experience a bit nicer.
Also I reduced the amount of words in the titles and texts on the front page.
