January 29th, 2007 at 9:42 pm by Tony So, at some point or another, most people who know that I blog AND that I am a resident in Medicine will often ask why I blog about the stuff I do, or perhaps, why I *don’t* blog about medical stuff. Since its up on Crunchnotes, I thought I might as well just blog about it right now. [...] [...] Why I Blog About Tech (Not About Medicine) And Why Comments Aren’t Always That Important.

I'd suggest rotating so that the impact is greater (and with variety might come greater awareness/clicks) There are dozens of interesting intersections of tech and non-profits, as well as a number of high profile projects attempting different approaches (Omidyar Networks, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation etc) to the rather slow moving charitable world. As we are just months (if already) into the next major political cycle (2008 elections) I would predict that there will be a new cycle of companies looking to apply "web 2.0" and other "social media" approaches to politics - and very quickly from there to other public sector/non-profit efforts. A few friends of mine are working on a number of interesting projects with a tech element that are either just launching or about to - I'd be happy to make some introductions - but my suggestion would be that you only point to / donate ad space to charities you personally support - and in my opinion you should also link to ones where a relatively small amount of additional resources would go a very long way (i.e. even a few donations or offers of help from your readers - think TED prize but writ smaller). Shannon Mike,
