Yap-Take voicemail to the cloud (and gain analytics)

I'm a busy person.  I volunteer, I consult, and I run a nonprofit.  I don't always have time to answer the phone and when I return phone calls, I like to know how to prioritize.  Yap helps with that.  I've used Google Voice (free numbers are nice), but I wanted to give something else a whirl.  I like that I can text/email the caller back. 

Vertical Response: Email Marketing for Nonprofits (and others)

There are so many email marketing services out there: Constant Contact, Mail Chimp, etc.  Why should a nonprofit go with Vertical Response?  Because they have a free program that allows up to 10,000 emails per month and nice discounts on other services (postcards, surveys).  I'm also a fan of their marketing education library, which can be useful too.  A 98% delivery rate isn't bad either. Neither is social media integration. 

Swap, Have Fun and Save the Environment

Any site that's helped reduce our carbon footprint by 10.7 million pounds is great in my book.  Swap.com lets people hold swaps online and hold them offline too.  You can swap for yourself, for your school or for your favorite cause.  They have an iPhone app coming soon (this Android user will have to wait). Each swap is $0.50 to $1.00 plus the cost of shipping if handled online (price includes delivery confirmation). I can't fault them for that because they deserve to make money.  It's a social enterprise built on a great idea. Heck, they even give advice on how to swap safely.  I'm a fan of their Swap4Schools program, where school employees can create classroom wishlists.
