Social Media & Fundraising  Social media is changing our world. We are spending more and more time online at a rate that is alarming to some, while others see it as an amazing opportunity to reach people that they could never reach so easily. With a little creativity, you can connect with the masses, sell your products or help your cause.
Kill The Spill is a website that has effectively used Twitter to raise over $16,000 towards the Gulf oil spill and while that may seem like a drop in the 'oil' bucket, it's a great start on this new medium, and this is only the beginning.

Now you can pick your ads The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Google plans to introduce cutting edge "skippable" ads on YouTube later this year. As users view videos, they will actually be able to skip past the ads they aren't interested in - and advertisers won't be charged for ads that are skipped.
