John - First off, congrats. Your application is both simple, direct and fills a chasm that most people did not know existed. I’ve been chatting with some others about the issue of the BB, and how to bring about awareness/support. Your work certainly is a step in that direction.

Secondly, thx for the twitter reply. What really caught my attention was that I’m toying (the best word I can use right now) with how to predict where these types of “needs” would arise. Follow back and I’ll D you some information as we get the idea a bit more solid. There could be some interplay. Would also be interested in how far along v2 is? Looking for betas?

I do not understand all of the “technical” stuff. I am a director of a small NGO. What I do know is that we need people like you to help people like us get the word out. It takes both. Being a small NGO and new both as an NGO and as a tweet it takes transparency on both sides to make it work. I have no way to get out who I am an what we are doing other than social media. Everything else just is too costly and we don’t have the money.
Problem: When you are new and small how do you show what positive impact you are having on a small piece of the world? We are buildging a home and school for 36 orphans. It will impact their lives and we do want to do more.
Just some thoughts. Hope it helps.
Thanks again for using the gifts and knowledge you have.
