Fundraising in 2.0 world

Social media has dominated the web 2.0 world in the recent times as a cutting edge fund raising platform. Before I get further down, I have to confess that I lack any background in fund raising. However, the insight I provide in this regard, stems from my experience developing financial applications. Having said that, I have often been inspired to give (or volunteer) based on the efforts pioneered by non-profits transforming social media in raising awareness. I am more aware of various causes today than before. Other factors aside, It is also the intrinsic ability to connect with individuals that share similar passion that has brought about this change in attitude. With this transformation underway, the screencast explores the some operational challenges behind raising funds online.
