I think it&amp;#39;s an interesting tool but it&amp;#39;s justthisfar from prime time right now (it still crashes just enough that I&amp;#39;m not sure I&amp;#39;d recommend it).  The really sweet thing about Flock -- the think that speaks to squirrel who love shiny things and lives in my geek heart -- is that it embodies a whole workflow in a single tool.  RSS, browse, tag, blog, and upload (photos for example).  It&amp;#39;s all there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On another note: I think that one of the important ways that nonprofits can use the blogosphere is to listen to it.  That&amp;#39;s accomplished, I think, by using RSS (here&amp;#39;s a TechSoup article, &lt;a href="http://www.techsoup.org/howto/articles/internet/page1643.cfm?cg=searchterms&amp;amp;sg=rss"&gt;RSS for nonprofits&lt;/a&gt;, on the topic).  Using tools like &lt;a href="http://www.pubsub.com"&gt;PubSub&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http:www.technorati.com"&gt;Technorati&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.feedster.com"&gt;Feedster&lt;/a&gt; nonprofits can track issue areas that are important to them.  Kind of a customized clipping service.&lt;br /&gt;

If you are a blogger, what tools do you use to publish and promote your blog? What blogs do you read? What advice would you give to a nonprofit that is interested in starting a new blog?&lt;br /&gt;
