Atlas Corps gets a spotlight in the Washington Post

Atlas Corps (my fellowship organization) is highlighted in the Front Page of the business section of the Washington Post. Please check out the article, spread the word and leave a comment at the bottom of the article: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/washbizblog/2009/03/value_added_17.html

I wondered what the possible business applications of Twitter could be. While I was wondering, I got a pitch from entrepreneur Scott Beale, who used Twitter, Facebook, Craigslist and a bunch of other web sites to win $100,000 from online contests to fund his District startup.

The start-up is a non-profit. Don't press the snooze button yet. Beale approached the project as if he were building the next Google.

The article is, in part, how we are winning online contests to support our organization. So, if you want to keep things going strong, we would LOVE to have your support for an online contest that we are participating in currently - your help with a $10 donation now help us win $10,000: http://www.razoo.com/organization/Atlas-Service-Corps
