Screencaster / screencapture. Likes to use it to "hack" (a slideshow app)
to make movies of her giving presentations.Jing

images and share them with anyone.”

Install it, click and drag to select what part of the screen you want to
capture, click to start the recording, record, stop recording, save it,
share it.

Moveis are .swf files, but you can convert them to aother format or edit
them in Camtasia.

Typically uses it for "how to" demos. Demo tasks in Salesforce, how to
configure things in Outlook, etc.

non-profits - http://taprootplus.org/ Taproot <http://www.taprootplus.org>

you with coaching and smaller projects.

Currently just domestic.


D - Kathy Mitchell - Nonprofit staff person at The Consumer's Union
(Consumer Reports) - Internal tool they built called "Stories" -

F - Bill Murphy from Phlly - One Click Politics - one political component
and one consumer component

Example: Sending a petition to people.

https://oneclickpolitics.com/

Has a massive list of Congressional committees, etc.

===

Consumer side: Your supporters can link back into your campaign (I'm a
little confused about how this works).

Styled to mesh with your website, not look like a different website.

G - Trish Perkins - Toggl - Time-tracking tool that she uses all the time
as a consultant.

it. Press Stop when done.

Press the "play" button on a prior project to start time on that project.

Three foci:

"You are as good as your relationship capital. Understanding how to own
that in the social media space is critical and powerful." - Duncan

She feels it's identical to Dropbox (and she uses Dropbox).

She stays signed in to multiple Google Accounts at the same time.

L - Kevin Walsh - Slack -

$10 per month per user.

It's an "email killer"

Left side, it keeps the channels, direct messages, and private groups.

You can subscribe to different levels of notifications.

It seems like an omni-media app you can use to integrate all your
media/paths/tools/etc.

Archives 10,000 chats for free. (Searchable)

Screen sharing tool. Great "live support" alternative to movies via Jing.

Q: Will it record it? A: For free, no, but if you pay, it will. (subscription
info <https://www.screenleap.com/subscription/edit?accountType=BASIC>)

Q: Does your co-worker need to install it? A: I think they have to do it
one time.

You can share full screen, or just a resizable portion.

http://giphy.com - A search-forgifs tool.

O - Jeff (Church of the Nazarene) - OwnCloud - Private version of Dropbox
in your network.

Open source and free.

Easy, omni-platform file sharing. Supports groups and folders.

(Their team's used it to go totally paperless.)

Works geat across platforms. Desktops, tablets, phones, etc.

Only challenge: Installer wanted to customize it. Only really took three
hours to get it running.

Totally secure behind their firewall.
