thank you for your helpful comments in pulling this carnival together.
Please reblog the links as much as possible. This is a niche area of
giving, but important nonetheless.

Marc,
Can I include your response (pasted below) in the giving carnival round-up?

Hi Mark,
No problem. Maybe you can include your ideas as a comment in one of the
entries that appears on Thursday.
Good luck with the book, and mailings. Sounds very interesting, if
hectic at this point.
All the best,
Peter

Sorry Peter,
My first book, Ask Without Fear! ([link]), just came
in from the publisher so I'm not going to make the deadline.
My life is a wonderful flurry of mailing books (more than 100 in the
first week).
Sorry to miss the deadline,
Marc

Hi Mark, and others,
This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting entries to the

Hello Giving Carnival Colleagues:
I wanted to spread the word about Natural Areas Association's

are building virtual services through it (it will be a mashup). It is

Hi Marc,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Remember, the other half of the
question was "or just getting started?" I think the comparisons to the
automobile and credit cards is a good one. Within non-profits, people
are getting frustrated with web 2.0 fundraising because it hasn't
delivered large aggregate donations. So for development staff, whose

Hi Phil,
That's a good idea. I'll work on a post that you and others can comment
on... sounds more like a homework assignment than a true blog
carnival... but in this case, I guess that's okay.
Out of curiosity, is anyone on this list already planning their own
(non-comment) submission to the giving carnival question I posted?

The way this could work is that you post a "state of the field" piece and others comment on it. That is the only way I personally would have anything of value to add. You are really in the position of having to educate most of us on this emerging field.

Hi Phil,
In addition to encouraging other people on this list to post something,
I will be chasing down blog entries from the social action platforms
themselves -- the services that facilitate person-to-person fundraising
in the first place.
I'm aiming for a total of a dozen posts, or so.
All the best,
