TechSoup Projects in the News!

TechSoup's own Susan Tenby, also known as Glitteractica Cookie in Second Life, wrote up a blog post about the Mixed Reality Health Panel Expo event that is featured on the Huffington Post. Part of TechSoup's NetSquared Conference (N2Y4), the mixed reality event highlighted nonprofits doing work in the virtual world of Second Life and included health expert panelists from organizations including Community Voicemail, Boomer Esiason Foundation, and Virtual Ability.

But that's not all! The NetSquared Conference has gotten a number of recent press coverage too. Huffington Post also featured an post from by longtime NetSquared supporter Allen Gunn: NetSquared 2009: Making the Virtual Proximal. Lessons on Innovation from Nonprofits by columnist Chris O'Brien, recently appeared in the San Jose Mercury News and Contra Costa Times. And we were proud to see that The Economist's Technology Quarterly, showcased five of NetSquared's previous featured projects for their application of mapping tools for social benefit work

We are thrilled to see these fantastic individuals and social benefit organization getting press about their important work. If you'd like to see more you can check out wrap-up detailed coverage of the NetSquared conference and find the text archive, pictures, and live-blogging of the Health Panel Expo event on the Nonprofit Commons blog.
