Non-Profits Must Consider Flash Options to Accommodate Huge Mobile Market, Including Apple's iPad
More online tools (for example, AuthorStream and SlideShare) are moving to provide options to Flash in order to be compatible with Apple's new iPad (which does not support Flash) and other similar mobile technologies. Non-profit organizations that make use of Flash (for example, Flash-based Web video) will now also have to consider such non-Flash based options if they want to communicate with an ever growing market share of devices such as Apple's iPhone and iPad.
For further information about how a non profit organization can develop a productive virtual volunteering program through the use of appropriate technology, please visit this

MYS announces the release of an iTunes instructional video entitled "How to Subscribe to and Play Podcasts Using Apple's iTunes". Podcasts, which are downloadable audio or video files, are a productive way to learn about trends and issues that impact online volunteering within non-profit organizations. iTunes, the dominant free podcatcher available for both Windows or Macs, allows the non-profit user to easily subscribe to a podcast publisher's feed and then have the episodes delivered automatically to their desktop-based podcatcher (iTunes) where they can be played when released. Whether the consideration or concern is, for example, Internet security or the use of an application, free podcasts are available to assist a non-profit organization develop their online volunteer program.MYS extends their thanks to Ireland-based Online Volunteer Becky Heaman for producing the video and to Alberta-based online volunteer Gail Drinnan for video distribution.Download the "How to Use iTunes Instructional Video" from the above link, now.For further information, please contact Tandy Tyler www.mys.ca/volunter or directly via Online Volunteer Program Developer, Trainer and Presenter or RandyTyler@gmail.com
