March 12, 2008 – Vol. 2, Issue 6

Hello again. Some of us thought this issue should be all about ACC basketball. They don’t call it March Madness for nothing! but, alas, he didn’t get his way. If you’re a fan, enjoy the games. Fan or not, we hope you’ll enjoy the research sites we have for you today.

Doing good by helping do-gooders find do gooders

(Say that 10 times fast and you win a prize – a FREE life-time subscription to REDUX, oh, wait you already have that….well then you have it all.) As former professional nonprofit fundraisers, the people at Noza know first hand how hard it is for non-profits to raise money. Noza helps charities identify who to ask. They have built a searchable database containing more than 26 million charitable donation records (growing by 1,000,000 records monthly). Charities access this database through their website and search for prospective donors for their organizations. See for yourself how NOZA helps nonprofits raise more money, and spend less money doing it.

Intermezzo

Need someone to talk to?
C’mon, admit it, you secretly talk to your plants and wish they could talk back. Well, soon they can! Botanicalls allows plants to place phone calls for human help. No. we’re not kidding. When a plant on the Botanicalls network needs water, it can call a person and ask for exactly what it needs. When people phone the plants, the plants orient callers to their habits and characteristics. Want to learn more about how it works visit Botanicalls.

Fah-ree Apps?

No, we’re not talking about mini-meatballs and pigs-in-a-blanket (yum!). We’re talking free online applications that cost nothing, nada, zilch. And you can find them at Search Free Apps. The site is great with 1,219 hand-picked sites, reviewed for quality, with valuable products and services. Such as online backup, mobile international calls, email management, CRM, virus protection, project management, PC access from your mobile phone and a lot more. All for you, just for the asking.
Don’t you love this open source world?

Stump the Researcher

A loyal reader asks: With all the hype about buying organic, I’ve been hearing a new term “slow food”. What is it?
