some free tools
The database and website team here at NPower is always on the lookout for new (and sometimes free!) tools that might help nonprofits in their work.
One of those is a tool called dabble db. It brags that you can enter your data once, share it with a dozen people, and view it from a hundred angles. They have a video you can watch, and some of their tools are free!
Lately, there have been a number of endeavors to make it easy for non coders like me to create complicated applications. You can use a tool from Yahoo called Pipes, a new tool from Microsoft called Popfly, or an offering from a vendor called Coghead. Each (in their own way) lets users create web based applications.
I’ve seen some nifty creations - some of which looked like they might add value to the nonprofit sector and some that didn’t. But I’m optimistic about the potential!
