This Friday, December 7th, Nonprofit Commons is happy to feature Ginny Mies of TechSoup. She will be talking to us about how mobile technology, web apps, and mapping software have become enormously helpful in sharing news and spreading information about relief efforts after Hurricane Sandy. Recently TechSoup compiled some examples of how technology and social media are being used to share news as well as rescue and clean-up efforts.
