Thieves Test Stolen Cards on Charities
http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20070707/tc_pcworl...
by Robert McMillan, IDG News Service

There's always something new and exciting popping up in the world of Web technology. At the turn of the century, Web 2.0 technology took the industry, and to a lesser extent the nonprofit sector, by storm. And everyday, newer ideas are finding their way onto the scene, many of which the third sector is slowly utilizing to navigate the very fluid terrain of Web direct response fundraising and advocacy.
