Yeah, agreed. AllForGood is basically just a jazzed up social networky Volunteermatch. But perhaps the nonprofit world needed a jazzed up social networky VolunteerMatch to get people to use volunteer matching sites at all. Almost unfair, but true. That’s the value they add.

How good is AllForGood?…

One of the hot topics in nonprofit land at the moment is the launch of AllForGood, a new site that pulls volunteer opportunities from various nonprofit websites and aggregates them to make it easier for everyone to volunteer. Techcrunch does a nice job…

Not anymore: this week VolunteerMatch announced all its volunteer opportunities are available under Creative Commons license. We made the move in part to ensure our data was available at All for Good. While All For Good’s *code* is open, they were asking partners to sign content deals on Google contracts giving them express license to do whatever they wanted with the data – commercial or not. As a nonprofit ourselves, we want to make sure the information is available for public good, not private interest. Working with a Creative Commons license is the best way to do this.

Some details:

What is the BDF?

There is already established Volunteer Match.

Google got too much time and money on its hands.
Sorry, forgot to add great post! Can’t wait to see your next post!

All For Good is open. VolunteerMatch is closed.

This is what VolunteerMatch should have done a long time ago.

It’s amazing how their “like” feature is similar to Friendfeed’s. In fact, it’s exactly the same.

But it’s smart, ’cause Friendfeed rocks! And it’s not a première: Facebook did it, Twitter will copy it too

This is one of the better projects/sites/communities I’ve heard about in years. It will excel and do great things in my opinion, and I’m glad someone set aside the resources to develop it.

Google Cache Server is Down .. Now I tried to view some pages from Google Cached it is showing the error message :

We’re sorry… but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.

Steps to Reproduce :
Search anything in Google ( I searched — web hosting provider changed)

and then Click on Cached link on Result page.

The link is given below…

I had always thought that this would have been a page under the existing Craigslist structure at some point.

Then I saw this and thought, damn, makes much more sense carved out. Slick!

Actually, it’s more comparable to Serve .org (http://serve.org/) – the White House is reportedly looking at how to work together with the All for Good folks.
